Without Her Around

She had really big opinions for such a little girl
She said, "Men may rule the countries, but women rule the world."
That drove her away
Now I'm a little more than down

And it sure is quiet without her around
Without her around

She said, "Patience now, baby. There's nothing I can say
To get you to quit, and I know I can't stay"
Why'd she hook up with the biggest fool in town?

And it sure is quiet with her around
Without her around

She sang in the kitchen
She sang in the bath
She sang like an angel
And oh, what a laugh
When she finally left me
She left without a sound
And it sure is quiet without her around

Now the boys in the bar room don't say anything
They stare at their pool cues
And they stare at their drinks
They stare at the tables
And they stare down at the ground

And it sure is quiet without her around
Without her around

She sang in the kitchen
She sang in the bath
She sang like an angel
And oh, what a laugh
When she finally left me
She left without a sound
And it sure is quiet without her around

Now it's late in the evening
I sit restlessly
Silence of the night
Weighs down on me
If your looking for the king of fools
I'll gladly wear the crown

And it sure is quiet without her around
Without her around
