You ask me how long I've been drinkin' and livin' this honky tonk life
Well listen girls I'll tell you my story I'm a mother that was once a happy wife
I'm a girl just like so many others neither good nor bad maybe a girl like you
And just think but for the grace of God in heaven
It could have been your heart that broke in two
I'm a girl that's left without a future and the baby boy that has his daddy's name
And the baby looks just like his daddy but another woman wears my wedding ring
[ steel - piano - guitar ]
