CHORUS I've got the radio blastin' I've got the windows rolled down And I'm cruisin' these backroads on the outskirts of town I can feel the wind a-
If she seems cold and bitter Then I beg of you Just stop and consider All she's gone through Don't be quick to condemn her For things she might say Just
She had a rag top Eldorado tuck-in-row pleat She picked me up in Colorado and put me right in the drivers seat I said I got no money, you know I got no
I laughed it off when she left I thought she'd come back again Don't we all have the right To be wrong now and then She won't come home She says her
I was finally getting over all the damage you had done When you show up with some buttercups saying how you doing hon Now you know the way you done me
Well, I think I get the message I'm not deaf and I'm not blind But the signals that I'm getting Have caught me by surprise It seems that you've decided
I heard you cry yourself to sleep and wake up in the night and walk the floor And I heard you try to tell me something just as I was running out the door
Chattanooga down in Chattanooga That's where I first met her I thought that I knew her She turned my world around she turned a country boy upside down
Throw up a quarter and I'll call it heads she loves me tails she loves me not I keep her picture in my wallet I guess I miss her a little more than I
Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine I don't care if the bells don't chime Just as long as you love me I don't care if the tops don't spin I don'
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 I'll keep on workin' long as these two hands
There's three bedrooms Hardwood floors and the kitchen's new It's got everything a family needs With a backyard view Ask anyone where it is Everybody
I don't know how she stole it I don't even know when I'm not sayin' there was fore thought or malicious intent But with it in her possession she disappeared
I see her walkin' and I hear her talkin' And when she's dancin', she leaves all the boys behind Hey, what's her secret? Well, I gotta know Won't you tell
Well you told my friends as I was passin' by You're not sorry that you made me cry You said I deserve just what I got If that's how you feel well honey
Look at her move inside of that skin tight dress Don't it make your heart want to break right through your chest And if she should softly speak your name
You tell me life will go on that I'll be all right once you're gone But my heart knows that just ain't true I can't imagine love without you Said you'
Got a ticket in my hand and one foot out the door It's sad to see how far apart we've come If we could just forget takin' sides in our little wars And
