It's with you that I should be
That I would like to live that way
Well I'm headed home along the straightest line
To find someone upon whom to rely
But a man must look around
Well, my Daddy said to me
I cannot believe I stayed so long away
You're the sweetest thing I've found
You're the sweetest thing I've found
And now I know I just been wastin' time
In the kitchen, Mama sneezed
Ah, babe, I'm a comin' soon
Said, "Bless you" and a tear come to his eye
I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune
All your lost high roller's rollin' home today
But a man must look around
I cannot believe I stayed so long away
I did decide that very day
And he grinned big as you please
"Son, it's hard as you will see
If you feel the same 'bout me
