lyrics

She was everything, whoa! I ain’t seen nothing like her since my army days
Drove her Cadillac in here, the storm was drippin’ off her little painted toes.

She was headed for Vegas, a marketing convention and she had to fly
but we saw something a-coming, kept each other warm until the storm blew by.

Won't you come back, baby, won't you come back down
to my tight motel here in tiny town
Won't you come back, baby, 'cause I love you, yeah.

You're a big town woman, I'm a corn fed boy,
it'll take time showing you the rural joy,
But I want you, baby,I want you, yeah.

It’s a twenty-minute drive on broken blacktop
through hot desert air
To an old wood store with a sign says Jim’s
I buy my cleaning supplies and my groceries there

There’s no strip malls, no video walls, no cell phone calls
It’s just simple, if you’d try it,
You might learn to like it,
If you’d come back, won't you…

Come back baby, there’s a special treat,
I got a little something waiting in the honeymoon suite,
You could make some dinner in the kitchenette,
A little Color TV would be fine, you bet!

I could do some digging, you would pull the weeds,
I would gap the plugs and you could plant some seeds
You would run the vacuum, I could fix the roof,
I would check the plumbing, you could bake some stuff,

You may be hot but I’m a man o’ means
Got the finest tractor here you ever seen
Won't you come back, baby, won't you come back down
to my tight motel here in tiny town

[Instrumental]

Won't you come back, baby, won't you come back down
to my tight motel here in tiny town
Won't you come back, baby, I love you, yeah.
Won't you come back, baby, I love you, yeah.
Won't you come back, baby, I love you, yeah.
