Hard To Be A Husbandhard To Be A Wife Lyrics

Brad Paisley & Chely Wright







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...
