Well I was out a drinking with a couple of friends of mine
When the bartender handed me the telephone
And said there`s my wife on the line
Well I told her I was just a drinking with the couple of biddies 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
So won`t you come home and talk to a stranger
It`s the only place in days you haven`t been
[ piano - guitar ]
Well I sat there about an hour a talking with the rest of the guys
When she walked to that front door she had gethome in her eyes
She said you`ve talked and danced with every woman in town but me
If you just come around the house you might like my company
She said won`t you come home...
It`s the only place in days you haven`t been
