Hard To Be A Husbandhard 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
