Song Lyrics

Now darling,
I know we've had our problems lately
And you've left me after all these years
And I know I probably could've treated you better
Along the line I've seen my mistakes like that time
That I took you to Waffle House
And you made me mad and I made you walk home in the rain
But you never got my sense of humor
Anyway no you never laughed at my jokes

I never meant to hurt you
I never understood the hillbilly things I do
If our love don't work now darling maybe later
You can't see the tears behind my aviators

And oh I know I probably should've come home more often
On those long lonely winter nights
But you know out of all those women
I was always your number one
And I'm sorry about that time I got drunk
And hit on your mom and slashed your daddy's tires
But I figured they had it coming
And I'm sorry about that time
That I accidentally shot your dog
While I was hunting and I told you he ran away
Oh wait a minute I told you that didn't I? Oh darling

I could never share those secrets of my heart
I feel so much closer to you now that we're apart
If our love don't work now darling then maybe later
You can't see the tears behind my aviators
