Last night, outta the blue Drifting off to the evening news She said "Honey, what would you do If you’d never met me" I just laughed, said "I don’t know, But I could take a couple guesses though" And then tried to dig real deep, Said, "Darling honestly, I’d do a lot more offshore fishing I’d probably eat more drive-thru chicken Take a few strokes off my golf game If I’d have never known your name I’d still be driving that old green ‘Nova I probably never would have heard of yoga Be a better football fan But if I was a single man Alone and out there on the loose Well I’d be looking for a woman like you." I could tell that got her attention So I said, "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I wouldn’t trade a single day For a hundred years the other way." She just smiled and rolled her eyes, 'Cause she’s heard all of my lines I said, "Come on on girl, seriously If I hadn’t been so lucky I’d be shooting pool in my bachelor pad Playing bass in my cover band Restocking up cold Bud Light Play poker every Tuesday night, yeah I’d have a dirt bike in the shed And not one throw pillow on the bed I’d keep my cash in a coffee can But if I was a single man Alone and out there on the loose Well I’d be looking for a woman like you." She knows what a mess I’d be if I didn’t have her here But to be sure, I whispered in her ear "You know I get sick deep-sea fishing And you make the best fried chicken I got a hopeless golf game I love the sound of your name I might miss that old green ‘Nova But I love watching you do yoga I’d take a gold band on my hand Over being a single man 'Cause honestly I don’t know what I’d do If I’d never met a woman like you."
