I'd Rather Have What We Had

George Jones

We used to drink Blue Nun there in room 3-2-1 
Over the river where we weren't well known 
Now it's two coffees then off to the office 
Then back in the driveway sittin' at home. 

Sneaking around with me, being tied down with me 
Which one would you rather have, be honest 
Dying to be with me, watching TV with me 
Is this what we wanted so bad? 
Well, I'd rather have what we had. 

We carefully planned it, what our hearts demanded 
No more motel rooms, no more cheatin' lies 
Now we're looking at it, a neatly wrapped package 
But open it up and there's no surprise. 

Sneaking around with me, being tied down with me 
Which one would you rather have, be honest 
Dying to be with me, watching TV with me 
Is this what we wanted so bad? 
Well, I'd rather have what we had. 

Darlin', I'd rather have what we had...
