My Heart Won't Wander Very Far From You

Well honey, don't you worry

I don't need no barroom queens

Well, I admit she sure knows

How to fill a pair of jeans

And I'll admit now darling

She sure is showing me her stuff

But honey, it ain't nearly enough

'Cause I ain't never seen her

Patch a pair of ragged britches

Stretch a paycheck 'til it reaches

Scratch my back right where it itches

And I ain't never seen that and honey 'til I do

My heart won't wander very far from you

Now honey, you know I honor

All the hard times we've been through

I never could've made it

With anyone but you

And I think I know when

A lady is really really tough

But she don't show me nearly enough

'Cause I ain't never seen her

Stay up all night with a baby

Calm me down when I get crazy

Fix me grits and red-hot gravy

I ain't never seen that and honey, 'til I do

My heart won't wander very far from you

No, I ain't never seen her

Make a six-room house a castle

Teach the young one how to wrestle

Straighten out my fishing tackle

And I ain't never seen that

And honey, 'til I do

My heart won't wander very far from you

No, I ain't never seen that

And honey, 'til I do

My heart won't wander very far from you
