Darlin’ I was thinkin’

As we gather round the tree

That I have been away a little while

I kiss you when you wake

Just to dream another dream

And hold you in my arms

To see you smile

In the summertime

I’ll be there

In the winter snow

Still gonna care

And if the whiskey turns to water now

I know that I’ll get through

I’m a simple man

Who runs on you

And now the snow is fallin’

Like it did in ‘85

It covers up them fields what I can see

With coffee in my cup

Think I’ll fire up that truck

If I go into town

Would you miss me?

In the summer rain

I’ll be there

And the winter snow

Still gonna care

And if the whiskey turns to water now

I know that I’ll get through

I’m a simple man who runs on you

So don’t you

Don’t you worry about it

‘Bout a simple man

Who runs on you

Song Lyrics
