Lyrics Carolyn - Merle Haggard , Johnny Paycheck

Carolyn, let me tell you what i've heard about a man today
He didn't come home from work and he went away
Til he came to a street bright in the night time like day
There they say he met up with some women
Dressed up in yellow and scarlet
Their warm lips like a honeycomb dripped with honey
And something about the smell
Of strange perfume
Made him feel warm and not alone
Yes carolyn, a man will do that sometimes on his own
Sometimes when he's lonely
And i believe a man might do that sometimes out of spite
But carolyn a man will do that always
When he's treated bad at home
