I COME HOME A-DRINKIN'
(Loretta Lynn / Peggy Sue Wells / Teddy Wilburn)

Cal Smith - 1969
Sonny Wright - 1969



 
I knew that you'd be sleepin' when I got home last night
All you ever want to do is eat and sleep and fight
You say you're always all worn out from the work you have to do
So I come home a-drinkin' to a worn out wife like you

Yes, I come home a-drinkin' to a worn out wife like you
Seems like you never want to do the things I'd like to do
Each time I try to hold you, you're asleep before I do
So I come home a-drinkin' to a worn out wife like you

(Instrumental Break)

I never take you anywhere 'cause you're too tired to go
You say it's all that you can do to wash and cook and sew
When you're too pooped to kiss me, well the bottle will have to do
Then I come home a-drinkin' to a worn out wife like you

Yes, I come home a-drinkin' to a worn out wife like you
Seems like you'll never want to do the things I'd like to do
Each time I try to hold you, you're asleep before I do
So I come home a-drinkin' to a worn out wife like you

So I come home a-drinkin' to a worn out wife like you
