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