My Heart Won’t Wander Very Far from You

[Verse 1]
Well, honey, don't you worry, I don't need no barroom queens
Oh, I'll 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

[Chorus]
'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

[Verse 2]
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's really, really tough
And she don't show me nearly enough

[Chorus]
'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
And I ain't never seen that and, honey, 'til I do
My heart won't wander very far from you

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
No, I ain't never seen her make a six-room house a castle
Teach the young one how to wrassle, 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

[Outro]
No, I ain't never seen that and, honey, 'til I do
My heart won't wander very far from you
