Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind) - Single Version Lyrics
Loretta Lynn
Lyrics
Well you thought I'd be waitin' up when you came home last night.
You'd been out with all the boys and you ended up half tight.
But liquor and love, that just don't mix leave a bottle or me behind.
And don't comehome a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind.
No, don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind.
Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find.
Cause if you want that kind of love well you dont't need none of mine.
So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind. ...
You never take me anywhere because you're always gone.
Many a night I've laid awake and cried dear all alone.
And you come in a kissin' on me.
It happens every time.
No you don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind.
No don't come home a drinkin'...
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind.
