I never had all the answers I never had enough time But I sure had all the reasons Why you weren't what I wanted to find I never laid all my cards out You just wanted to play The king, he waited on my door's steps While the joker and me went on our way [Chorus] Maybe I was much too selfish But, baby, you're still on my mind Now I'm grown and all alone And wishing I was with you tonight 'Cause I can guarantee Things are sweeter in Tennessee These days everything is all business Never in one place for too long And there's no lack of arms around me But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong [Chorus] And I'd wish on every star in the Southern sky For that man and our life If I did not think that [Chorus]
