Now darling, I know we've had our problems lately and you've
left me after all these years and I know I probably could've
treated you better along the line I've seen my mistakes like
that time that I took you to Waffle House and you made me mad
and I made you walk home in the rain but you never got my sense
of humor anyway no you never laughed at my jokes

I never meant to hurt you
I never understood the hillbilly things I do
If our love don't work now darling maybe later
You can't see the tears behind my aviators

And oh I know I probably should've come home more often
on those long lonely winter nights but you know out of all
those women I was always your number one And I'm sorry about
that time I got drunk and hit on your mom and slashed your
daddy's tires but I figured they had it coming and I'm sorry
about that time that I accidentally shot your dog while I was
hunting and I told you he ran away oh wait a minute I told you
that didn't I? Oh darling

I could never share those secrets of my heart
I feel so much closer to you now that we're apart
If our love don't work now darling then maybe later
You can't see the tears behind my aviators
