George Jones

I'd Rather Have What We Had

We used to drink Blue Nun there in room 3-2-1

Over the river where we weren't well known

Now it's two coffees then off to the office

Then back in the driveway sittin' at home.

Sneaking around with me, being tied down with me

Which one would you rather have, be honest

Dying to be with me, watching TV with me

Is this what we wanted so bad?

Well, I'd rather have what we had.

We carefully planned it, what our hearts demanded

No more motel rooms, no more cheatin' lies

Now we're looking at it, a neatly wrapped package

But open it up and there's no surprise.

Sneaking around with me, being tied down with me

Which one would you rather have, be honest

Dying to be with me, watching TV with me

Is this what we wanted so bad?

Well, I'd rather have what we had.

Darlin', I'd rather have what we had...
