Sweet Thing

[Verse 1]

I'd be out running most every night

We'd always end up in one hell of a fight

Well, the end is comin', there ain't no doubt

There's just that one thing I can't live without

[Chorus]

I won't try to stop you

I can't change your mind

It's been nice to know you

Could you leave that sweet thing behind?

[Verse 2]

Well, you take the dishes, the silverware

Well, I'll keep the hound dog and this easy chair

Keep the Ranchero, but that TV is mine

She said, "You can stick that clicker where that sun don't shine"

[Chorus]

I know you're leaving

Can't change your mind

It's been nice to know you

Could you leave that sweet thing behind?

[Bridge]

That woman was real mean

My trailer park drama queen

I'm gonna have bad dreams

About missing that sweet thing

Lord, I don't know what I am gonna do

[Verse 3]

Why's a tornado like a redneck divorce?

Either way somebody's bound to lose a mobile home, of course

Well, that's my story, it's sad but true

I've only got one request of you

[Chorus]

I know you're leaving

Can't change your mind

It's been nice to know you

Could you leave that sweet thing behind?

[Chorus]

Well, I know you're leaving, baby

I can't change your mind

It's been nice to know you

Could you leave that sweet thing behind?
