Hard to Be a Husband, Hard to Be a Wife - Americana Outlaws
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 doing what I love to do
Makes it hard to be a wife
Wouldn't you well believe the number of times
I've been asked that myself
Folks can't understand why
A heart like mine is 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
There's folks who 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
Of 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
That makes it hard to be a wife
And hard to be a husband
And makes hard to be a wife
