My Wife Thinks You're Dead - Junior Brown

It’s good to see you baby it’s been a long long while

We’re both a whole lot older and seen a lot of miles

But thing are different now since the good ol' days

And you’ve been in some trouble

Since we went our separate ways

We’ll have to say hello maybe some other time instead

Cause you’re wanted by the police

And my wife thinks you’re dead.

Somebody spread the rumor that you had lost your life

‘Least that’s the way I heard it and what I told my wife

Now here you’re showing up again and talk is getting' round

And I can see that one of us will have to leave this town

If you think that I want trouble

Than you’re crazy in your head

Cause you’re wanted by the police

And my wife thinks you’re dead.

You never called or wrote me just up and disappeared

Nobody knew what happened

Where you been for all these years

Now trouble’s what you’re lookin' like

Cause trouble’s where you been

And I can see the kind of trouble you could get me in You better pay attention to every word I said

Cause you’re wanted by the police

And my wife thinks you’re dead.

So goodbye to you baby I’m glad we’ve got to talk

But I’m faithful to my wife and I don’t ever break the law

I don’t know where you’re headed for

But I know where you been

We’re reminisced now let’s just go our separate ways again

Go find another ex-sweetheart to hang around instead

Because you’re wanted by the police

And my wife thinks you’re dead.
