LYRICS:
Saw a dancing young lady who worked in a bar
A dozen lone rangers don't know who they are
The waitress was spinning my head was a jar
And I should have been home with you

Saw a reeling old drunk man dancing around
Thought his grey whiskers still must have been brown
Ida Lupino wouldn't keep her dress down
I should have been home with you

The band rock and rolled but it wasn't the best
Nearly all of them just sound like the rest
Well some girls looked pretty but you were the best
And that's why I came home with you

Got home about daylight I'd been gone too long
Woke up at eleven and I saw you were gone
So I drank lots of coffee and I wrote you this song
I wish I'd have been home with you
I wish I'd have been home with you
I wish I'd have been home with you
