Hard To Be A Husband - Hard To Be A Wife Lyrics

Hard To Be A Husband - Hard To Be A Wife lyrics

You wouldn't believe the number of times I've heard somebody say

 How come some guy, some handsome prince, hasn't swept you away

 But I take off on that tour bus, a different city every night

 And doing what I love to do makes it hard to be a wife

 

 You wouldn't believe the number of times I've been asked that myself

 Folks can't understand why a heart like mine is still on the shelf

 But I'm married to my music and I have been most my life

 That makes it hard to be a husband

 It makes it hard to be a wife

 Cause I'd rather play the Grand Ole Opry

 Than go out to dinner and a movie

 Right now I'm not thinkin' bout a family of my own

 Cause the band's on stage and I'm late for my show

 

 There's folks who think my life is lacking

 Cause my time at home is usually spent packing

 You might assume that I don't' have a clue what love's about

 Oh, but I know love 

 Of that I have no doubt

 Cause you wouldn't believe the way it feels to hear somebody say

 Your song sure means a lot to me

 It got me through a real tough day

 And if hearing words like that means giving up my social life

 Then I've got all the friends I need on that front row

 And I've got all the friends I need on that back row

 And we can't see those folks unless we're never home

 And that makes it hard to be a wife 

 And hard to be a husband

 And hard to be a wife
