Husbands and Wives
Roy Drusky · Now (Is a Lonely Time) (Mercury) [1967]
(Roger Miller)
(When and at just what moment did that feeling
That look that touch silently and unnoticed slip away
And it all became an after glow the feelin' of loss with no hope of finding
And then the hasty words and anger.)
Two broken hearts lonely looking like houses where nobody lives
Two people each havin' so much pride inside neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause and the decline
In the number of husbands and wives.
A woman and a man a man and a woman some can
And some can't and some can't.
