She hit the door, 6:55
Sack full of groceries split down the side
Canned goods scattered all the way to the curb
Look on her face sayin’, “Don’t say a word”
So it’s me and her and a can of beans
Sittin’ there on the front porch swing
A western sky all turnin’ red
Head on my shoulder, she sighed and said
I’ve been gopherin’, chaufferin’, company chairman
Coffee maker, copy repairman
Anymore, there ain’t nothin’ I swear, man
That I don’t do
Been jugglin’, strugglin’, closin’ big deals
Dancin’ backwards in high heels
Just when it feels like I can’t make it through
She said, “It sure is nice to just be the woman with you”
She said, “The girl I was with a business degree
Probably wouldn’t recognize me
I was gonna run the bank, I was gonna run the map
Now all I wanna run is a bubble bath”
Back then, you know, I had this plan
Before all this reality set in
Here come life, boy, ready or not
Hey, I wanted it all and that’s what I got
‘Cause I’m gopherin’, chaufferin’, company chairman
Coffee maker, copy repairman
Anymore, there ain’t nothin’ I swear, man
That I don’t do
Been jugglin’, strugglin’, closin’ big deals
Dancin’ backwards in high heels
Just when it feels like I can’t make it through
She said, “It sure is nice to just be the woman with you”
She said, “I’m gopherin’, chaufferin’, company chairman
Coffee maker, copy repairman
Anymore, there ain’t nothin’ I swear, man
That I don’t do”
I been jugglin’, strugglin’, closin’ big deals
Dancin’ backwards in high heels
Just when it feels like I can’t make it through
She said, it sure is nice to just be the woman, the woman with you
La la la la la la la
The woman with you
