Well, I was out a drinking
With a couple of friends of mine
When the bartender handed me the telephone
Said there's a wife on the line
Well, I told her I was just a drinking
With the couple of biddies I knew
But she told me
In a few short words
Just what she wanted me to do
She said
"Won't you come home and talk
To a stranger
You might even make yourself a friend
So won't you come home and talk
To a stranger
It's the only place in days
You haven't been"
Well, I sat there about an hour
A talking with the rest of the guys
When she walked to that front door
She had "get home" in her eyes
She said, "You've talked and danced
With every woman in town but me
If you just come around the house
You might like my company"
She said
"Won't you come home and talk
To a stranger"
I'm listening, honey
"Yeah, you might even make yourself a friend"
Oh, honey, I could use a good friend
"Well, won't you come home and talk
To a stranger"
You don't have to hold my ear
"It's the only place in days
You haven't been"
I'm ready, honey, I'm ready
"It's the only place in days
You haven't been"
