Hank Williams Jr. That`s How I Wanted It To Be Lyrics

That`s How I Wanted It To Be Lyrics

I thought I'd like to leave

The black side of life for a while

To live alone and have some fun



So I told her to take the kids and go back to her ma

That's how I wanted it to be

And I felt satisfied it was over and done



I wake up every morning make myself a cup of jay

Down to the factory that's where I spend my pay

Five o'clock the whistle blows and that leaves the evening free

That's how I wanted it to be



Well, it didn't take me long to find out just how much I missed her

So I wrote and told her to take the kids and come on back home

'Cause I was ready to settle down now



Well, you see I just got her letter today

And it seems she's found someone she can depend on

That's how I wanted it to be, she ain't coming home no more



I wake up every morning make myself a cup of jay

Down to the factory that's where I spend my pay

Five o'clock the whistle blows and that leaves the evening free

That's how I wanted it to be
