My Heart Won't Wander Very Far From You

Written by Annette Cotter & Buddy Carvalhe

Well honey don't you worry I don't need no ballroom queen,
Though I'll admit she sure knows how to fill a pair of jeans,
And I'll admit now darlin' she's sure showin' me her stuff
But honey it ain't nearly enough,

Cause I ain't never seen her patch a pair of ragged britches
Stretch a paycheck til it reaches, scratch my back right where it itches
And I ain't never seen that and honey til I do
My heart won't wander very far from you.

Now honey you know I honor all the hard times we been through
I never could have made it with anyone but you
And I think I know when a lady is really really tough
But she don't show me nearly enough.

Cause I ain't never seen her stay up all night with the baby
Calm me down when I get crazy, fix me grits and red eyes gravy
And I ain't never seen that and honey til I do
My heart won't wander very far from you.

No I ain't never seen her make a six room house a castle
Teach the young ones how to wrastle,
Straighten out my fishin' tackle
And I ain't never seen that and honey til I do
My heart won't wander very far from you.

No I ain't never seen that and honey til I do
My heart won't wander very far from you.
