Sitting here hoping you miss me
Cause things ain't been the same
Since that good for nothing city slicker
Keeps trying to give you his last name
Rolling into town
Like a brand new Cadillac
Well I'm here to tell you mister
I want my baby back
He may take you to far off places
Places we could never go
Like over there in Georgia
Where you could visit the streets of Rome
Or take you to a romantic dinner
With candle light just you and he
Toasting you by the riverside
In Paris, Tennessee
You can drive a world away from here
In his fancy sports car like it weren't nothing
Clinking your bottles of Lone Star beer
High stepping it out in Dublin
I even here tell he's taken you
To the sunny shores of Naples
Way down South in Florida
Something I was never able
But can he take you out frog gigging
Or catch fireflies in a jar
In all your worldly gallivanting
Don't you miss the way we were
Has anything he done for you
Been as sweet as chewing on a piece of Bahia grass
While standing in an open field
Watching the clouds blow past
Or listening to a Whippoorwill
Sing out it's nightly song
On the front porch you and me swinging
To it's rhythm all night long
Don't give a hoot about places he takes ya
That's about all I gotta say about that
After all this highfalutin society traveling
All I want is my baby back
