Verse
I wonder if you realize how good it is to be loved by a woman
A woman you can count on even though she knows you done her wrong
The one who worships you in spite of that old rowdy ground you used to walk on
Who'll stay awake to give you help and thank the Lord you find the native home.
But it's that woman there behind you, the one who makes you who you are
She's not the president's first lady she ain't no motion picture star
But she's the one who keeps you goin' when you'd swear the hope is gone
She's the mother of your children thank God she won't leave you alone.
So if your thinkin' how you'd like to shuck it all and get on down the highway
Well, buddy let me tell you, there ain't nothing left but leaving from then on
You better wrap her in your arms and strap some good fashioned love and honor
Or else you'll stagger in some night and find an empty house that was your home
It's that woman there behind you, the one who makes you who you are
She's not the president's first lady she ain't no motion picture star
But she's the one who keeps you goin' when you'd swear the hope is gone
She's the mother of your children thank God she won't leave you alone.
