I DIDN’T THINK SO                                Patty Gayle 

 

Can she laugh about the first time you went parking

Lit up that first one and started choking

She know what your daddy said when you were twelve,

Damn near broke your heart      Still hurts like hell

Or when he threw the keys to your first car and said,

go on son don’t go far

I didn’t think so

 

Does she know what you look like when you’ve had enough

You drank all night and you feel a little rough

Can she lay by your side without saying a word

Or cry with you without being heard

Does she know your coffee is strong and sweet

Or you drink your whiskey cheap and neat

I didn’t think so

 

And she ain’t that funny   She ain’t one of the guys

Your old friends are jealous   I can see it in their eyes

She looks real pretty   I know that’s true

Can you talk to her     Can she get to you

Her skin’s still smooth and it fits tight

Is it warm and yours in the middle of the night

I didn’t think so    I didn’t think so

 

You take her out on the town feeling young and frisky

But I know where your mind goes when you drink whiskey

Sure she’s pretty, where will she be

When you’re down on your luck on bended knees

Will she stick with you when you’re flat out broke

Make you roll your eyes at some dumb joke

I didn’t think so   

 

It’s hard when you’ve had so much history

Keep it fresh and new and full of mystery

Will she know the look in your eyes

When you’re down on yourself and you realize

She can’t follow you down in your deep dark place

Sit with you there ‘til you’re ready to face it

I didn’t think so     I didn’t think so               

 

And she ain’t that funny   She ain’t one of the guys

Your old friends are jealous   I can see it in their eyes

She looks real pretty    I know that’s true

Can you talk to her    Can she get to you

Her skin’s still smooth and it fits tight

Is it warm and yours in the middle of the night

I didn’t think so    I didn’t think so

Oh, I didn’t think so     I didn’t think so
