about

Co-written with Dan Rivers.

lyrics

Daughters need their mamas so I guess you ain't surprised
You were right somethings wrong so here's the truth
Been talkin' to this man with the deepest green blue eyes
Now I don't know what to do

They got me workin' doubles closin' out the second shift
I serve him almost every night
I first took off my ring just to wash a couple dishes
Wish that I could turn back time

Heart's been drivin' me crazy
And Tom's at home with the baby
Promised he would be my last first kiss
Meant my vows on our wedding day
Slept pretty good in the bed we made
But it never felt like this
No it never felt like this

Ever since we bought the house we're barely breakin' even
Never thought it would be this tough
Hardly get to see him with the hours we been keepin'
I can't remember the last time we made love

So when a handsome stranger ordered up a Jack and coke
And asked if I could use a friend
Somethin' 'bout those words went like whiskey down my throat
And I felt beautiful again

Heart's been drivin' me crazy
And Tom's at home with the baby
Promised he would be my last first kiss
Meant my vows on our wedding day
Slept pretty good in the bed we made
But it never felt like this
No it never felt like this

Go ahead remind me not to leave it all behind
That ain't the way I feel right now
God I know you're right and I should go back home tonight
That's a little harder than it sounds
