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
