I Shoulda Have Been Home (With You)
I saw this dancing lady
She worked in the bar
A dozen lone rangers
I don’t know who they are
The waitress she was spinning
My head it was ajar
I should have been home with you
Saw a really old drunk man dancin’ around
Thought his grey whiskers still must’ve been brown
Ida Lopeno wouldn’t keep her dress down
I should have been home with you
(break)
Band rocked n rolled but it wasn’t the best
Nearly all of ‘em all sound like the rest
Some girls look pretty but you were the best
That’s why I came home to you
Got home ‘bout daylight I think I been gone too long
Woke up at eleven and I saw you were gone
So I drank lots of coffee and wrote you this song
I wish I’d have been home with you
I wish I’d have been home with you
I wish I’d have been home with you
