A Little Place In The Country - Greg Brown

I’m sorry I hit you.

I’m sorry I wrecked your car

I’m sorry I met you that night at the Why Not Bar

But now I’ve got you and you’ve got me for life

I will hand you this bottle honey, if you’ll set down that knife

I’ll never leave you.

I’ll never go away

And even if I do-I reckon I won’t stay

No, I’ll never leave you.

I’ll never set you free

And even if I do-you better come back to me

I’ve had lots of women-some even fatter than you

But not a one of them could do all the things that you do

I want to marry you.

I want to see you in that gown

I want to carry you to a room and take it all the way down

I’ll buy you a trailer from my uncle-any color you choose

Double-wide, furnished-one that’s never been used

A little place in the country-just a ways out of town

And when I get home to you I don’t want nobody around

I’ll never leave you.

I’ll never go away

And even if I do-I reckon I won’t stay

No, I’ll never leave you.

I’ll never set you free

And even if I do-you better come back to me
