You might call it sad confusion
You might even call it off
But once you called me more than just your friend
Now there's more to what I'm thinkin'
Sister, soak the beans
I'll be comin Home to Chop the Onion
Mama, light the stove
It'll take a while for the cornbread to get done
Well, I left my home out on the Great High Plains
Headed for some new terrain
Standin' on the highway with my coffee cup
A wonderin' who was gonna pick me up
He had hair, black as a fiberglass speedboat
The morning air was crisp as a brand new bank note
He swaggered like a surfer on a Louisiana dirt bike
He swerved like a trucker on the Dallas Turnpike
When you're ready for steady to go dancin', romancin'
Grab your sweetheart and jump in your car
Drive right on down to the bright side of town
You'll be glad you don't have to drive far
Leaving California, she is on my mind
I left her back in Travis county, cryin' to a clothesline
A steel guitar on the radio is cuttin' slow and mean
I brought home the bottle, she just wanted beans
Hey operator, cancel the phone call
I hear somebody knockin' at the door
Lookie here it's Loretta and she never looked better
Her arms full of groceries from the store
Baby like the night life
She can't tolerate the quiet life
She got a shakin' fever
Ain't nobody don't believe her
Waiting for the train to France
I hung my head in shame
Feeling for all purposes like a
Man without a name
In the cool of the evening she calls me to dance
My back's about broken from choppin' the plants
My soul is so thirsty I can't sleep at night
She walks in my dreams, brings me delight
