Bobby Bare - That's How I Wanted It To Be lyrics

I thought I'd like to leave the black side of life for a while Live alone and have some fun So I told them to take the kids and go back to their mama (That's how I wanted it to be) and I felt satisfied it was done. I wake up every morning, make myself a cup of Jay Down to the factory that's where I spend my day Five o'clock the whistle blows and that leaves the evening free That's how I wanted it to be. Well, it didn't take me long to find out just how much I needed her So I wrote and told them to take the kids And come on back home 'cause I was ready to settle down now Well, you see I just got her letter today. And it seems she's found someone else, someone she can depend on (That's how I wanted it to be) and she ain't comin' home no more. I wake up every morning, make myself a cup of Jay Down to the factory that's where I spend my day Five o'clock the whistle blows and that leaves the evening free That's how I wanted it to be. That's how I wanted it to be...
