Song Lyrics

I'd be out runnin' most every night
We'd always wind up in one hell of a fight
The end is comin' there ain't no doubt
But there's just that one thing I can't live without

I won't try to stop you
I can't change your mind
It's been nice to know you
Could you leave that sweet thing behind?

You take the dishes, the silverware
Well, I'll keep the hound dog and this easy chair
Keep the Ranchero but that TV is mine
She said, "You can stick that clicker where the sun don't shine"

I know you're leaving
I can't change your mind
It's been nice to know you
Could you leave that sweet thing behind?

Well, that woman was real mean
My trailer park drama queen
I'm gonna have bad dreams
About missing that sweet thing
Oh Lord, I don't know what I am gonna do

Why's a tornado like a redneck divorce?
Either way somebody's bound to lose a mobile home of course
Well, that's my story, it's sad but true
I've only got one request of you

I know you're leaving
I can't change your mind
It's been nice to know you
Could you leave that sweet thing behind

Well, I know you're leaving, baby
I can't change your mind
It's been nice to know you
Could you leave that sweet thing behind?
