She Don't Tell Me To

Every now and then on my way home
I stop at a spot where the wild flowers grow
And I pick a few, 'cause she don't tell me toI go out with my boys all right
Most of the time I call it a night
Before they do, 'cause she don't tell me toSunday mornin', I'm in church and my butt and my back
And my necktie hurts but I'm in the pew, she don't tell me toAny other woman I know would have tried
To control me and it would be over
Blame it on my goin', my own way attitudeAll of that stubbornness melts away
When I wake with her head on my shoulder
An' I know I've got to love her until my life is through
'Cause she don't tell me toI got demons and I've got pride
But when I'm wrong, I apologize
Like she's mine to lose, 'cause she don't tell me toWell, I got dreams in this heart of mine
But nothin' that I wouldn't lay aside
If she asked me to, 'cause she don't tell me toAnd she don't even know that she keeps me lookin' for
The next right thing to do, 'cause she don't tell me to, yeah, yeahAny other woman I know would have tried
To control me and it would be over
Blame it on my goin', my own way attitudeAll of that stubbornness melts away
When I wake with her head on my shoulder
An' I know I've got to love her until my life is through
What else can I do, what else can I do, oh, I love her
'Cause she don't tell me to, she don't tell me toEvery now and then, on my home
I stop at a spot where the wild flowers grow
And I pick a few, yes, I do
