Iris DeMent

I'm Out To Try My Hand At Love Again

I'm out to try my hand at love again

and I'll be picking differently than the way I picked back then

To demand amore ain't such a sin

So I'm out to try my hand at love again

He'll be tall, dark and handsome, yeah

and we'll pass the hours dancing

Oh, but after the romancing, mama, he'll come home with me

He's gonna fry my eggs, mop the floor and do all the laundry

I see no point in living in the past

'cause I went that route before and even then love did not last

I've considered every possibility

and next time around here's how it's gotta be

He'll be tall, dark and handsome, yeah

and we'll pass the hours dancing

Oh, but after the romancing, mama, he'll come home with me

He's gonna fry my eggs, mop the floor and do all the laundry

I'm out to try my hand at love again
