Well I was out a drinking with a couple of friends of mine
When the bartender handed me the telephone and said there`s your wife on the line
Well I told her I was just a drinking with the couple of buddies I knew
But she told me in a few short words just what she wanted me to do
She said won`t you come home and talk to a stranger
You might even make yourself a friend
She said won`t you come home and talk to a stranger
It`s the only place in days you haven`t been

Well I sat there about an hour just a talkin` with the rest of the guys
And when she walked through that front door she had gethome in her eyes
She said you`ve talked to danced with every woman in town but me
And if you just come around you might like my company
She said won`t you come home...
It`s the only place in days you haven`t been
