EVERY NOW AND THEN
ON MY WAY HOME
I STOP AT A SPOT WHERE
THE WILDFLOWERS GROW
AND I PICK A FEW
'CAUSE
SHE DON'T TELL ME TO
I GO OUT WITH MY BOYS
ALRIGHT
BUT MOST OF THE TIME
I CALL IT A NIGHT
BEFORE THEY DO
'CAUSE
SHE DON'T TELL ME TO
SUNDAY MORNIN'
I'M IN CHURCH
AND MY BUTT
AND MY BACK
AND MY NECKTIE HURT
BUT I'M IN THE PEW
SHE DON'T TELL ME TO
ANY OTHER WOMAN
I KNOW
WOULD HAVE TRIED
TO CONTROL ME
AND IT WOULD BE OVER
BLAME IT ON MY
GOIN'-MY-OWN-WAY
ATTITUDE
WELL ALL OF THAT
STUBBORNNESS
MELTS AWAY
WHEN I WAKE
WITH HER HEAD
ON MY SHOULDER
AND I KNOW
I'VE GOT TO LOVE HER
UNTIL MY LIFE
IS THROUGH
'CAUSE
SHE DON'T TELL ME TO
WELL I'VE GOT DEMONS
AND I'VE GOT PRIDE
BUT WHEN I'M WRONG
I APOLOGIZE
LIKE SHE'S MINE TO LOSE
'CAUSE
SHE DON'T TELL ME TO
I'VE GOT DREAMS
IN THIS HEART OF MINE
BUT NOTHIN'
THAT I WOULDN'T
LAY ASIDE
IF SHE ASKED ME TO
'CAUSE
SHE DON'T TELL ME TO
AND SHE DON'T
EVEN KNOW
THAT SHE KEEPS ME
LOOKIN' FOR
THE NEXT RIGHT THING
TO DO
'CAUSE
SHE DON'T TELL ME TO
YEAH YEAH
ANY OTHER WOMAN
I KNOW
WOULD HAVE TRIED
TO CONTROL ME
AND IT WOULD BE OVER
BLAME IT ON MY
GOIN'-MY-OWN-WAY
ATTITUDE
BUT ALL OF THAT
STUBBORNNESS
MELTS AWAY
WHEN I WAKE
WITH HER HEAD
ON MY SHOULDER
AND I KNOW
I'VE GOT TO LOVE HER
UNTIL MY LIFE
IS THROUGH
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO
WOH I LOVE HER
'CAUSE
SHE DON'T TELL ME TO
SHE DON'T TELL ME TO
EVERY NOW AND THEN
ON MY WAY HOME
I STOP AT A SPOT WHERE
THE WILDFLOWERS GROW
AND I PICK A FEW
YES I DO
