I came back on the trail of a man Things are the same as when I left Well, I so wanted to say, "Hey" But I know you think my sentence was too light Time should have put this behind us Some things I won't soon forget Bride and bridle are too close in a man's mind And I know you think my sentence was too light You, you weren't true But I can't blame a woman who changes Three thousand, six hundred and fifty, odd days I waited Time, I did my time Now I long since quit feeling my hands Still, three men have a day with me I could have found them all before now And I know they think my sentence was too light Your father bet ten years against this day He wed his girl to a better man But he stands here now with his hat in his hands And I know he thinks my sentence was too light You, you weren't true But I can't blame a woman who changes Three thousand, six hundred and fifty, odd days I waited Time, I did my time Time, I did my time
