Lyrics
My Near Mrs.

There's a waitress down in Tucson named Juanita
And we made plans to tie the knot back in the spring
But I'm a man who's on the road two hundred days a year
And I don't have the right to wear a ring
And My Near Mrs.
Were close calls of the heart
And we put the flame out
Before it got too hot
Cause lonely motel walls
And late night calls
Just don't go the distance
I'm a lucky man with my Near Mrs.
There's a grade school teacher in Houston, her name is Sarah
And she taught me that love just can't take the strain
But I knew deep down she deserved a better man
So I hope my misfortune is her gain
And My Near Mrs.
Were close calls of the heart
And we put the flame out
Before it got too hot
Cause lonely motel walls
And late night calls
Don't take the place of kisses
I'm a lucky man with my Near Mrs.
And the twists and turns around every bend
Still leave me wondering what might have been
And My Near Mrs.
Were close calls of the heart
But we put the flame out
Before it got too hot
Cause lonely motel walls
And late night calls
Just don't go the distance
I'm a lucky man with my Near Mrs.
My Near Mrs.
