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 cobbler 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 8:00
How to hold my horses on a second date
And how to hold to a pair of two's like a royal straight
Till she calls your bluff
I wouldn't know that young love ain't all smiles
Grocery stores have flower isles
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

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
