Don't Leave Me Where You Find Me

Loretta Lynn · They Don't Make 'Em Like My Daddy [1974]

(D.W. Choate)



The lights're low, I am too

The crowd is high, so are you

It's gettin' close to closin' time

And the breakup, oh, it breakup my mind.



You found me in this dimlit bar

I'm with you and we're too far

Now you say my kind of girl

Just can't fit in your kind of world.



Please don't leave me where you found me

Oh don't leave me where you found me

Keep your love wrapped warm around me

Don't leave me where you found me.



I like to cook, I like to sew

I'd love to watch while babies grow

I'd work my fingers to the bone

If you'll make me the maker of your home.



Please forget the life I've led

Let me share more than your bed

I'll make a vow to God above

You'll always be the keeper of my love.



Please don't leave me where you found me

Oh don't leave me where you found me

Keep your love wrapped warm around me

Don't leave me where you found me.



Please don't leave me where you found me...
