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