[al:Last of the Country Gentlemen]
[00:49.72]I’m in love with another woman
[00:54.79]who simply ain’t my wife
[00:59.66]She haunts my every thought,
[01:04.33]she taunts my troubled mind
[01:09.44]She ghosts right through my body like a phantom on the wings of the night
[01:18.02]I’m in love with a woman who simply ain’t my wife
[01:28.40]I’m in love with an amazing woman,
[01:33.11]she just is not my wife
[01:38.32]What will I tell my pastor, friends, my family or said blushin’ bride?
[01:48.20]I cannot seem to pray this preyin’ madness off my troubled mind
[01:57.07]Lord, I just didn’t see this comin’ in my life
[02:51.52]Don’t ask me what I’m thinkin’,
[02:56.98]Honey, you know I cannot lie
[03:01.86]I’m day-drinkin’ about seeing that woman and it’s drunk drivin’ my mind’s eye blind
[03:12.04]It’s got me howlin’ at the honeymoon, like some lone werewolf under the weird green lights
[03:21.17]I don’t know what I’m thinkin’, but I know I just can’t think or drink her off my troubled mind
[03:32.60]I’m thinkin’ I wish you were her
[03:38.56]I wish you were her
[03:44.51]Oh flesh of my flesh, I wish that you were her
[03:53.20]And I know that it hurts and that nothin’ could be worse (than to hear)
[04:04.13]The honeymoon’s great, but I wish that you were her
[04:59.36]Whenever we make love,
[05:05.19]I’m made sadder every time
[05:10.70]Cuz I feel like I am cheatin’ on a woman who is not my wife
[05:21.08]I feel like she can see me, like she’s starin’ right through your goddamned eyes
[05:31.28]I kiss your lips and I feel her whisper back up into mine
[05:41.70]She’s sayin’ I wish I was her
[05:47.33]I wish I was her
[05:53.25]To the bone of her bones, I wish that I was her
[06:00.72]But I’m just the ghost in her shell,
[06:06.50]that’s gonna haunt you like a hell
[06:11.69]I hope your honeymoon’s great honey, but I too am wishin’ that I was your her
[07:12.91]I’m in love with another woman,
[07:18.20]please don’t tell the wife
[07:22.58]I cannot seem to stop it and it’s fuckin’ up my fucked up life
[07:31.36]I’m haunted by a face that could set a thousand war ships to flight
[07:40.20]It floats right through my body like a fragrance on the winds of the night
[07:48.51]These visions of eternal love cloud my judgment and they blind mine eyes
[07:58.27]And as the wings of this heavenly dove, trouble the water, trouble the winds of my many oh so troubled minds, I’m howlin’, the honeymoon’s great, but I wish that
[08:18.55]she were her
[08:23.08]If it’s not one thing it’s a mother, fuck her.
[08:27.79]You’ll leave and I’ll be left alone to wonder
[08:33.47]If I was with her, would I start wishin’ that she were you?
[08:42.45]It’d be kinda funny, honey. if it weren’t so damn true
[08:52.00]I’d gauge my eyes right out if I thought it would help me
[08:57.73]not to see her when I looked at you
[09:03.01]And I got too much time on my hands,
[09:09.10]for these nightmare day dreams
[09:15.20]But there’s a few things if I could I’d rearrange
[09:23.76]And it’d be kinda funny, Honey, if it weren’t so damn true
[09:35.48]I can’t help myself darlin’, I swear to god I’m sorry, for
[09:42.81]wishin’ that she were you
[09:49.50]Hell knows what any of this means,
[09:54.60]Heaven knows a man can’t control his dreams
[10:01.28]God knows I ain’t no Christ and Christ knows I’d never dream of harmin’ my wife
[10:19.40]And yeah the honeymoon’s great,
[10:23.83]but I wish that she were her
[10:48.52]God knows I ain’t no Christ,
[10:56.83]Christ knows I’d never dream of harmin’ my wife
[11:09.09]But I’m thinkin’ the Honeymoon’s great
[11:14.20]and I can’t stop wishin’ that she were her
