Story Behind The Song

I've had to make this choice a few times myself

Song Description

The ever present temptations in life are upstaged by an exceptional babe in a bar. She's absolutely drop-dead gorgeous, and she wants to take you home. But, back at the ranch, there's another woman--a wife that I've committed to, and I ain't gonna cheat

Lyrics

I'd just unloaded my last steer,, so I stopped off for a beer

at the corner bar on Morgan Street and Ray.

Sidled-up this luscious gal. She said, "I'm lookin' for a pal.

Hey, Fella, this is just your lucky day."


She had a face, straight off the cover of a glamour magazine,

and some shapely legs, without a doubt, the best I'd ever seen.

She had charisma, up the ying-yang, and my mind began to roam,

when she said, "I really like you, and I'm gonna take you home.

Chorus:

But I said...

I don't wanna go home with you

'Cause I've got a fine gal, and I've vowed that I'd be true.

They say that "Home is where the heart is."

Mine can't be at your house too,

so I don't wanna go home with you.


That didn't slow her down a bit. She said "I don't know how to quit.

You're the first man that has ever told me "No."

And my ego just can't take it: You are gonna damn sure break it...

Now I'm headin' home. Just tell me that you'll go."



I said my gal ain't near as pretty, an' her figure ain't so great,

but she's always been there for me when I've come home kinda late.

To a fault, she's sweet an' lovin; I ain't got no need to roam.

I don't wanna hurt your feelings, but y' ain't gonna take me home.

Chorus:

And I said...

I don't wanna go home with you

'Cause I've got a fine gal, and I've vowed that I'd be true.

They say that "Home is where the heart is."

Mine can't be at your house too,

so I don't wanna go home with you.
