i'd rather have what we had

George Jones

We used to drink Blue there in room 3-2-1
Over the river where we weren't well known
Now it's two coffees then off to the office
Then back in the driveway sittin' at home

Sneaking around with me being tied down with me
Which one would you rather have be honest
Dying to be with me watching TV with me
Is this what we wanted so bad
Well I'd rather have what we had

We carefully planned it what our hearts demanded
No more motel rooms no more cheatin' lies
Now we're looking at it a neatly wrapped package
But open it up and there's no surprise

Sneaking around with me being tied down with me...
Darlin' I'd rather have what we had
