Lyrics Johnny Paycheck – Carolyn
Text:
Carolyn let me tell you what I heard about a man today
He didn’t come home from work and he went away
‘Til he came to a city, bright in the night time like day
There they say he met with some women dressed in yellow and scarlet
Their warm lips like a honeycomb, dripped with honey
And somethin’ about the smell of strange perfume
Made him feel warm, and not alone
And somethin’ about the smell of strange perfume
Made him feel warm, and not alone
Yes Carolyn a man will do that sometimes on his own
And sometimes when he’s lonely
And I believe a man will do that sometimes out of spite
But Carolyn, a man will do that always
When he’s treated bad at home
Yes Carolyn a man will do that sometimes on his own
And sometimes when he’s lonely
And I believe a man will do that sometimes out of spite
But Carolyn, a man will do that always
When he’s treated bad at home
