When the bartender handed me the telephone
 Said there's a wife on the line
 I told her I was just a drinkin' with a couple of buddies I knew
 She told me in a few short words
 Just a what she wanted me to do

 She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger
 You might even make yourself a friend
 She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger
 It's the only place in days you haven't been

 Well I sat there about an hour talkin' with the rest of the guys
 When she walked through that front door
 She had get home in her eyes
 She said you've danced and talked with every woman in town but me
 And if you'd just come around the house you might like my company

 She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger
 You might even make yourself a friend
 She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger
 It's the only place in days you haven't been

 She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger
 You might even make yourself a friend
 She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger
 It's the only place in days you haven't been
