I wouldn't know a house from a loving home
10:30 sharp from the crack of dawn
Where the forks go, how to find the book of Psalms
And good collard peaches
I wouldn't sing Aretha or rake the leaves
Watch my mouth in mixed company
Probably wouldn't put up a Christmas tree
And spoil all my nieces
Some are here, some are gone
Some were mine all summer long
Solid as a rock, rolling like a stone
In and out my door
I can drive a stick, I can drive a nail
Hold down a job, fend for myself
Yeah, I'd be alive but not much more
If it wasn't for, if it wasn't for
All of the women in my life
I wouldn't know 7:30's more like eight
How to hold my horses on a second date
How to hold a pair of twos like a royal straight
She calls your bluff
I wouldn't know that young love ain't all smiles
Grocery stores have flower aisles
I'd have twice the money and half the miles
On this old truck
Some are here, some are gone
Some were mine all summer long
Solid as a rock, rolling like a stone
In and out my door
I can drive a stick, I can drive a nail
Hold down a job, fend for myself
Yeah, I'd be alive but not much more
If it wasn't for, if it wasn't for
All of the women in my life
♪
I'd still be a stupid boy out on the run
Not half the man that I've become
I wouldn't know how to know you were the one
If it wasn't for, if it wasn't for
All of the women in my life, yeah
Some are here, some are gone
Some were mine all summer long
Solid as a rock, rolling like a stone
In and out my door
I can drive a stick, I can drive a nail
Hold down a job, fend for myself
Yeah, I'd be alive but not much more
If it wasn't for, if it wasn't for
All of the women in my life
All of the women in my life, mm, mm
