It's another wasted morning
When I'm holding up the wall
Too much tequila makes me wonder
Why I'm headed home at all
I get that honky -tonk feelin'
Every night your arms grow cold
And now I know that's the reason
I need a home away from home
So I'll say it one more time,
and I hope you'll understand
When I can't find it in your arms, babe,
I can't refuse lonely women
Lord, I know just how they feel
And I can't keep on pretendin'
What you've been givin' me is real
I get that honky -tonk feelin'
Every night your arms grow cold
And now I know that's the reason
I need a home away from home
So I'll say it one more time
And I hope you'll understand
When I can't find it in your arms, baby
When I can't find love in your arms, babe
I'm gonna find it where I can
I'm gonna find it where I can
