I've always loved the ladies Ladies love the games Seems the things they want the most is They always want to change The only thing that changes Is my mind I never could toe the mark And I never could walk the line Some things don't come easy Others should be free I'd gladly give my heart to you But the rest belongs to me I don't mean to be A waste of time I never could toe the mark And I never could walk the line I like Southern Comfort It does a thing on me Takes me home to a gentle touch And wants what's left to me She's got her own space And I got mine She don't toe the mark And I don't walk the line She's got her own space And I got mine She don't toe the mark And I don't walk the line
