A while ago, talking on the telephone with my wife and my two daughters.
That's the one thing that I hate about what I do.
I love what I do, but I hate the time I have to spit away from them.
Like tonight, they called me right before we went on stage, and they're driving down to [Gm] the coast
to have a family get [F#] together, and I ain't gonna be able to be there.
[C#] That's a heartbreaking thing.
[C] And my little girl, my seven-year-old, she [E] said something.
It caught me to tear up.
She said that when she got down to the beach, [N] she had took one of my hats,
and she was gonna make a man out of sand, and she was gonna put my hat on and pretend I was [E] there.
Oh, sand man!
[A] [E] Mood ring.
Mood ring would be good.
I wanna sing this song for my wife and my family.
You know, all that being said, I'm a human being like you are,
and sometimes, even though I'm so in love with my wife and my family,
I get tempted sometimes by the opposite [Em] sex.
Let's tell the truth tonight.
Like Tina Turner said, what's love got to do with it?
[A] [E]
It just is what it is.
I wrote this song to help me remember.
Be strong.
A long way from home, while drinking a beer,
a beautiful stranger whispered in my ear,
[A] come back to Rome, be yourself, and don't [E] tell a soul.
I've heard [B] forbidden fruit [A] is sweeter, but I [E] don't wanna know.
She asked me to dance, she didn't see no harm,
but if you dance with the devil, she'll turn on her charm.
[A] These are so dangerous circumstances, I [E] think I should go.
I'm tempted, wondering what it'd be [A] like to hold her, but I don't [E] wanna know.
[A] I don't wanna know what it's like to cross that line.
[E] I don't ever wanna see my baby cry.
[A] I could keep it a secret, it would never show.
[C#] But what [E] would it cost my [B] heart?
I [E] don't wanna
[C#m] know.
[E]
There's a three-room house 600 miles away,
with a fence-tailing yard where my children can play.
[A] And the angel of my dreams gotta [E] love her so.
What I would [Bm] lose to [Em] abuse [A] her trust, I don't [E] wanna know.
[A] I don't wanna know what it's like to live a lie.
[E] Even if she couldn't tell by looking in my eyes,
I [A] could keep it a secret, it would never show.
[C#m] But what would it cost [Bm] my heart?
[E] I don't wanna know.
[A] [Em]
