Now darling, I know we've had our problems lately
and you've left me after all these years
and I know I probably could've treated you better along the line
I've seen my mistakes like that time that I took you to Waffle House
and you made me mad and I made you walk home in the rain
but you never got my sense of humor anyway no you never laughed at my jokes
I never meant to hurt you
I never understood the hillbilly things I do
If our love don't work now darling maybe later
You can't see the tears behind my aviators
And oh I know I probably should've come home
more often on those long lonely winter nights
but you know out of all those women
I was always your number one
And I'm sorry about that time
I got drunk and hit on your mom and slashed your daddy's tires
but I figured they had it coming and I'm sorry about that time that
I accidentally shot your dog while I was hunting
and I told you he ran away oh wait a minute I told you that didn't I
Oh darling
I could never share those secrets of my heart
I feel so much closer to you now that we're apart
If our love don't work now darling then maybe later
You can't see the tears behind my aviators
