The Wife You Save May Be Your Own
Navigating Life's Crossroads: A Cautionary Tale in Lynn Anderson's Melody
Lyrics
Boy you're travelin' much to fast for safety
Warning that you're moving too quickly and dangerously.
That crowd you're runnin' with is flyin' low
Your companions are engaging in risky behavior.
Battin' it down the highway to nowhere
Heading aimlessly towards a destination without significance.
And you don't have much farther to go
Nearing the end of a reckless journey.
You better listen boy all that glistens boy
Not everything attractive is valuable, similar to a lost ring.
Isn't gold like the ring you left at home
Cautioning against the false allure of certain things.
You better slow down boy you're
Advice to slow down and reconsider actions.
Gettin' low down boy
Descending into questionable behavior.
Cause the wife you save may be your own
A warning that your actions could harm your marriage.
Boy those curves you're foolin'
The risky behaviors you're engaging in are precarious.
Around are dangerous
Especially dangerous due to alcohol consumption.
Specially since you're drinkin' quiet a lot
Drinking excessively, amplifying danger on the road.
They're the kind that lead you
Indicating a path leading to wrong choices.
Up the wrong road
Risking the destruction of everything you've built.
And make a wreck of ev'rything you've got
You better cool it boy I ain't foolin' boy
An urgent plea to change behavior to avoid dire consequences.
You may lose the license that you got at home
Warning about potential loss of privileges or rights.
You're gettin' low down boy you
Continued descent into risky behavior.
Better slow down boy
Advice to slow down and reconsider actions.
Cause the wife you save may be your own
Reiterating the warning that your actions could harm your marriage.
Yes the wife you save may be your own
Reaffirmation of the warning that your actions affect your marriage.
