I Should Have Been Home

Saw a dancing young lady who worked in the bar A dozen known rangers don't know who they are The waitress was spinning, my head was a jar And I should have been home with you Saw a reeling old drunk man dancing around Thought his grey whiskers still must've been brown Ida Lopino wouldn't keep her dress down And I should have been home with you Band rock 'n' rolled, but it wasn't the best Nearly all of 'em all sound like the rest Some girls looked pretty, but you were the best That's why I came home with you Got home about daylight, I'd been gone too long Woke up at 11 and I saw you were gone So I drank lots of coffee, and I wrote you this song I wish I had been home with you I wish I had been home with you I wish I had been home with you
