Women In My Life

I wouldn't know a house from a loving home 10:30 sharp from the crack of dawn Where the forks go, how to find the book of Psalms And good collard peaches I wouldn't sing Aretha or rake the leaves Watch my mouth in mixed company Probably wouldn't put up a Christmas tree And spoil all my nieces Some are here, some are gone Some were mine all summer long Solid as a rock, rolling like a stone In and out my door I can drive a stick, I can drive a nail Hold down a job, fend for myself Yeah, I'd be alive but not much more If it wasn't for, if it wasn't for All of the women in my life I wouldn't know 7:30's more like eight How to hold my horses on a second date How to hold a pair of twos like a royal straight She calls your bluff I wouldn't know that young love ain't all smiles Grocery stores have flower aisles I'd have twice the money and half the miles On this old truck Some are here, some are gone Some were mine all summer long Solid as a rock, rolling like a stone In and out my door I can drive a stick, I can drive a nail Hold down a job, fend for myself Yeah, I'd be alive but not much more If it wasn't for, if it wasn't for All of the women in my life I'd still be a stupid boy out on the run Not half the man that I've become I wouldn't know how to know you were the one If it wasn't for, if it wasn't for All of the women in my life, yeah Some are here, some are gone Some were mine all summer long Solid as a rock, rolling like a stone In and out my door I can drive a stick, I can drive a nail Hold down a job, fend for myself Yeah, I'd be alive but not much more If it wasn't for, if it wasn't for All of the women in my life All of the women in my life, mm, mm
