This Old House

We were wed at twenty-two,
And I was so in love with you,
You'd look at me and I would fall apart
And you said you would always be the man who would provide for me,
I believed in you with all my heart
Time's are hard I know that's true and you did what you have to do,
Out on that hard road to earn our keep
But you're out drivin' in your car,
Your kids are asking where you are,
Callin' for their daddy in their sleep

Chorus:
Don't want to know what your doin' in the day time
Don't want to know what your doin' 'till the dawn
Don't want to think about the people that your seein'
Don't want to be in this old house on my own

My mamma always said that cheatin' woman was better off dead,
She had suffered every day of her life
She had many plans for me and it broke her brittle heart to see,
Me waitin' in the kitchen like a good wife...

I used to lay at night in our big bed in the full moon light,
And I could smell the place that you had been
But less and less I feel you here or hear you whisper in my ear,
The times your home are few and far between

Chorus

Don't want to know what your doin' in the day time
Don't want to know what your doin' 'till the dawn
Don't want to think...
Don't want to think about the people that your seein'
Don't want to be in this old house on my own
Don't want to be in this old house on my own
