Lyrics
She never asks me where I'm going,
As I step out the back door for the night
My clean shirt, my pressed pants, my good boots and best hat
Never saying when I might be back
Tonight, I'll stay out drinking,
She'll be there whenever I get home
From kicking up my heels with honky-tonk angels.
And if she won't leave me, I'll find a woman who will.
From here, I can almost hear her crying
As a pull up onto Heartbreak Boulevard
She's been faithful and kind, must be out of my mind
Thinking that she could ever be that blind.
Tonight, I'll stay out drinking,
She'll be there whenever I get home
From kicking up my heels with honky-tonk angels.
And if she won't leave me, I'll find a woman who will.
