She's the way I kind of take my time (?)
just wandered from yours to mine
the streets look long and long
can I take this path alone
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
but my wife won't come on home
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
but my wife won't come on home
when I look to Jesus
I'd rather look to shame
drinking too much, that religion singing's fudge
and I don't know who to blame
she left me there on a street to nowhere
she ain't coming back no more
and I wonder what it was for
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
but my wife won't come on home
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
but my wife won't come on home
I've looked long and far, and nowhere can I find
someone to remake those feelings you take to fill my emptiness inside
she left me there on a street to nowhere
she ain't coming back no more
and I wonder what it was for
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
but my wife won't come on home
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
but my wife won't come on home
