The Wife You Save May Be Your Own

(album: With Love, From Lynn - 1969)

Boy you're traveling much to fast for safety
That crowd you're running with is flying low
Batting it down the highway to nowhere
And you don't have much farther to go

You better listen boy all that glistens boy
Isn't gold like the ring you left at home
You better slow down boy you're getting low down boy
Cause the wife you save may be your own

Boy those curves you're fooling around are dangerous
Specially since you're drinking quiet a lot
They're the kind that lead you up the wrong road
And make a wreck of ev'rything you've got

You better cool it boy I ain't fooling boy
You may lose the license that you got at home
You're getting low down boy you better slow down boy
Cause the wife you save may be your own
Yes the wife you save may be your own
