I was afraid I’d end up alone
seemed like the type to just keep on talking
so I let him have his head
this being a country song you can imagine
exactly what that old man said
I been in your shoes 50 years gone
danced with the bull of the ball
all the crowds cheering and all the big buckles
ain’t worth nothing at all
prechorus/chorus
at that very moment she came through the door
lookin like autumn in jeans
she smiled at me but she was headed for him
and they kissed like a couple of teens
she sat by his bed and held his hand
and they talked about nothing a while
he looked like twenty and she was nineteen
you couldn’t help but smile
Bb
then my wife walked in
Ab
she was crying
I told her I’d quit
and this time I ain’t lying
and I thought about who I was
and who I could be
and what I could have
if I could just see
how to
quit my whining
get to living
quit my whining
get to living
quit my whining
get to living
honey, we could have it all
I’ve got one good woman
and we’ll get two good horses
and make a place we can both call home
for such a long
I’d been afraid I’d end up alone
but I’ve got one good woman
I’ve got one good woman
yeah I’ve got one good woman
and I think it’s time to go home
honey please take me home
