The Long Honeymoon
All the bedroom lights go out
As the neighbourhood gets quiet
Everything in heaven and earth is almost right
But there's a wife whos wondering where her husband could be tonight
And when the phone rang only once she took a dreadful fright
Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him
He was late this time last week
Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim
'Cause the baby isn't old enought to speak
There's been a long honeymoon
She thought too late and spoke too soon
There's no money back guarantee on future happiness
There's been a long honeymoon
If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins
She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this
All the movies and the papers
Feature the murders of lonely women
If he isn't in by ten she'll call up her best friend
Why doesn't he come home
Why does her friends phone keep on ringing
Maybe she should just pretend
(chorus)
We recommend: Bob White
Lord it's the same old thing
Fiddle and guitar
Where do we take it from here ?
Rhinestone suits, new shiny cars,
It's been the same way for years.
It's bound to change.
Somebody told me when I came to Nashville,
"Son, you finally got it made"
Ole Waylon made it here, and we're all sure that you will
But I don't think Waylon done it this way,
No, I don't think Waylon done it this way.
Ten years on the road making one-night stands
Speeding my young life away.
Tell me one more time just so's I'll understand <
