Playing House Away from Home

(Bill Rhodes)

Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn



I left our hometown for the weekend

On a big business deal

And I would close behind you

My excuse is sharp and drill.

My only business is our pleasure

And I don't bother things I won't



'Cause we're playing house away from home

We're playing house away from home

Our names and faces are unknown

Everyone thinks that we're man and wife

We even wear our wedding rings

and we don't try to hide this thing

'Cause we're playing house away from home.



--- Instrumental ---



We'll get up in the morning

I'll go my way and I'll go mine

And go home to act like strangers

And hope no one can tell

That we have left all the bills from actin' right and doin' wrong

'Cause we're playing house away from home



We're playing house away from home

We're playing house away from home

Our names and faces are unknown

Everyone thinks that we're man and wife

We even wear our wedding rings

and we don't try to hide this thing

'Cause we're playing house away from home.



Yes, we're playing house away from home...
