Sometime, Somewhere Wife

It was a very cold September

Colder than I'd ever care to make it

I had a kind of empty feeling

But no place to go where I could take it

So I took a walk beside the railroad tracks

And I thought about the facts of my life

And of my sometime, somewhere wife

At times like this I lose my head and think of her

Empty spaces always ask for filling

I wonder why I never stopped to marry her

It wasn't 'cause she was not more than willing

Walking puts a window to my mind

And brings thoughts about this kind of a life

Without my sometime, somewhere wife

I guess I walked about a mile and maybe some

And I come upon a rusty railroad crossing

And suddenly I knew that time had come again

The winter wind had set the trees to tossing

So I returned to where I'd left my stuff

Yes, I knew I'd had enough of my life

Without my sometime, somewhere wife

I got to find her, I've got to find her

I got to find her, I've got to find her

I've got to find my lady, got let her know, I don't know why I let my lady go

I got to find her, I've got to find her

I've got to find her
