My head's on right and things are settlin' down
I'm takin' every day just the way it comes
And I can do it till Melinda comes around

There's a little man at home depending on me
And a woman that would never let me down
And I love them just as sure as God made feelings
And I do fine till Melinda comes around

I promised me I wouldn't think about her
But Heaven, won't you keep her safe and sound
I've made up my mind not to love her anymore
And I can do it till Melinda comes around

I try to be content with all my blessings
And thankful for the good life that I've found
'Cause if there's such a thing as being happy
I guess I am till Melinda comes around

I promised me I wouldn't think about her
But Heaven, won't you keep her safe and sound
I've made up my mind not to love her anymore
And I can do it till Melinda comes around
And I can do it till Melinda comes around
