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]

The album accounted for a Top Ten hit on the same chart in "My, Oh My" as well. After its release, both Branch and Harp returned to being solo singers. Harp has since had Top 40 country success of her own with the single "Boy Like Me". more »
