Well I was out a drinking with a couple of friends of mine

When the bartender handed me the telephone and said there's your wife on the line

Well I told her I was just a drinking with the couple of buddies I knew

But she told me in a few short words just 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

[ guitar ]

Well I sat there about an hour just a talkin' with the rest of the guys

And when she walked through that front door she had gethome in her eyes

She said you've talked to danced with every woman in town but me

And if you just come around you might like my company

She said won't you come home...

It's the only place in days you haven't been
