Lyrics
I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune
I won't sing a sad or lonely song
Ah, babe, I'm a comin' soon
Hey, darling, I'll be coming back soon
I cannot believe I stayed so long away
I can't believe I stayed away for so long
But a man must look around
A man needs to explore and look around
You're the sweetest thing I've found
You are the most wonderful thing I've discovered
All your lost high roller's rollin' home today
All those who lost big in gambling are returning home today
Well, my Daddy said to me
My father advised me
"Son, it's hard as you will see
Son, life is tough, and you'll find it challenging to find someone reliable
To find someone upon whom to rely
To depend on someone is difficult
In the kitchen, Mama sneezed
In the kitchen, my mother sneezed
And he grinned big as you please
And he grinned happily
Said, "Bless you" and a tear come to his eye
Said, "Bless you," and a tear appeared in his eye
I did decide that very day
On that day, I decided
That I would like to live that way
I want to live in that loving way
And now I know I just been wastin' time
I realize I've been wasting time
It's with you that I should be
I should be with you
If you feel the same 'bout me
If you feel the same about me
Well I'm headed home along the straightest line
Now, I'm heading home on the straightest path
I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune
I won't sing a sad or lonely song (repeated)
Ah, babe, I'm a comin' soon
Hey, darling, I'll be coming back soon (repeated)
I cannot believe I stayed so long away
I can't believe I stayed away for so long (repeated)
But a man must look around
A man needs to explore and look around (repeated)
You're the sweetest thing I've found
You are the most wonderful thing I've discovered (repeated)
All your lost high roller's rollin' home today
All those who lost big in gambling are returning home today (repeated)
