YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE
THE NUMBER OF TIMES
I'VE HEARD SOMEBODY
SAY
HOW COME SOME GUY
SOME
HANDSOME PRINCE
HASN'T
SWEPT YOU AWAY
BUT I TAKE OFF
ON THAT TOUR BUS
A DIFFERENT CITY
EVERY NIGHT
AND DOIN'
WHAT I LOVE
TO DO
MAKES IT
HARD TO BE A WIFE
WELL YOU WOULDN'T
BELIEVE
THE NUMBER OF TIMES
I'VE BEEN ASKED THAT
MYSELF
WELL FOLKS
CAN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY A HEART
LIKE MINE'S
STILL ON THE SHELF
BUT I'M MARRIED
TO MY MUSIC
AND I HAVE BEEN
MOST MY LIFE
THAT MAKES IT HARD
TO BE A HUSBAND
MAKES IT
HARD TO BE A WIFE
'CAUSE I'D
RATHER PLAY THE
GRAND OLE OPRY
THAN GO OUT
TO DINNER
AND A MOVIE
RIGHT NOW I'M NOT
THINKING 'BOUT
A FAMILY OF MY OWN
'CAUSE THE BAND'S
ON STAGE
AND I'M LATE
FOR MY SHOW
4 BAR BREAK
THERE'S FOLKS
THAT THINK MY LIFE
IS LACKING
'CAUSE MY TIME
AT HOME
IS USUALLY SPENT
PACKING
YOU MIGHT ASSUME
THAT I DON'T
HAVE A CLUE
WHAT LOVE'S ABOUT
OH
BUT I KNOW LOVE
THAT I HAVE
NO DOUBT
'CAUSE YOU
WOULDN'T BELIEVE
THE WAY IT FEELS
TO HEAR
SOMEBODY SAY
YOUR SONG
SURE MEANS
A LOT TO ME
IT GOT ME THROUGH
A REAL TOUGH DAY
AND IF HEARING WORDS
LIKE THAT MEANS
GIVING UP
MY SOCIAL LIFE
THEN I'VE GOT ALL
THE FRIENDS I NEED
ON THAT FRONT ROW
AND I'VE GOT
ALL THE FRIENDS I NEED
ON THAT BACK ROW
AND WE CAN'T SEE
THOSE FOLKS
UNLESS WE'RE
NEVER HOME
AND THAT MAKES IT
HARD TO BE A WIFE
AND HARD
TO BE A HUSBAND
THAT MAKES IT HARD
TO BE A WIFE
