Lyrics:

1975 Everybody's Country


I come home late at night
And she's always there to greet me
In the same sweet way

With a kiss and 'Hello, Darlin'
Gee, you must have had a busy day

So, I mumble some excuse for where I've been
And what I've done.
She believes me this time
Just like all the rest

And I wonder why this fool can't see
If she'll accept the worst from me
Then, she deserves my very best

Last year, I forgot her birthday
So, I bought here a dozen roses four days late
You'd thought that I had brought her
Every flower heaven ever made

Cause she held me close and cried
And how it hurt to feel the tear drops
That were melting on my chest

And I wonder why this fool can't see
If she'll accept the worst from me
Then, she deserves my very best

Though she's happy now with what she's got
Never asking more and often getting
A whole lot less

And I wonder why this fool can't see
If she'll accept the worst from me
Then, she deserves my very best
