My Heart Won't Wander Very Far from You

Well honey don't you worry I don't need no barroom queens.

Well I 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.

'Cause I ain't never seen her patch a pair of ragged britches,

Stretch a paycheck till it reaches, scratch my back right where it itches.

And I ain't never seen that and honey till I do

My heart won't wander very far from you.

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 is really really tough,

But she don't show me nearly enough.

'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.

I ain't never seen that and honey till I do

My heart won't wander very far from you.

No I ain't never seen her make a six- room house a castle,

Teach the young one how to wrestle, straighten out my fishing tackle.

And I ain't never seen that and honey till I do my heart won't wander very far from you.
