Well you can have her I don't want her she didn't love me anyway. She only wanted someone to play with but all I wanted was love to stay. . The girl I love she upped and left me she ran away with my best friend.
She walked right up to me and took me by the hand. An angel who could please most any man. She said to me I'm free and you're just my kind. And for a moment you almost slipped my mind.
Hopped a freight train out of Nashville, rode it up to Ohio. From my way on to Detroit, stayed there for a month or so. Caught a ride into Chicago with a truck drivin' man.
If I promise you to straighten up and put my life in order. If I swear to you on bended knees I won't hurt you again. If I become the kind of man that you want me to be.
It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife. But I've been a workin' man dang near all of my life. And I'll keep on workin' long as these two hands're fit to use.
Woman ooh sensuous woman you control the world I'm livin' in. Woman ooh sensuous woman release my body and let me live again. . Step by step you taught me easy loving night by night you caught me in your web.
Who do I know in Dallas?. Who can I call on the phone?. Who do I know in Dallas. Who'll help me forget she's gone?. . I can't spend the night without someone.
Livin' on whiskey dirt ain't easy Lord when you're little. You might say it's a mighty rough row to hold. Sometimes you think that you won't get no bigger (but I did).

Wasting my time again. Asking you to stop seeing him. I've told you goodbye for the last time. But I'm wasting my time again. . This thing that you're doing's a sin.
I'm like a cloud driftin' from town to town each new love just helps me on my way. No one woman's ever gonna tie me down. When one gets too close I just back up and say.
I hear the echo of your footsteps they're right in step with marching time. Since you've walked out of my life and out of my world. Please walk on out of my mind.

Listen while I tell you bout a place I know down in Tennessee where the tall corn grows. Hidden from the world in a bunch of pines. The moon's a little bashful and it seldom shines.
Tell her you love her today tell her in your own simple way. It's the same old story to her it's never old. And even though she knows it she likes to be told.
