Tall dark and handsome
He's the singer in a country band
Papa says there's no future
In loving that kind of man
He said he'll never settle down
He's blinded by those neon lights
But I said papa I really love him
And I made up my mind

I'm going with him
Wherever he goes
I'm going with him
It's all I really know
It must be hard on you and mama
But you were young once too
And papa I'm going with him
Just like mama went with you

Smoky bars and steel guitars
It's the only life he knows
I've got no right to change him
His first love was the road
I know at times that people part
Let the worry we'll be fine
Just look at you and mama
Love always survives

I'm going with him
Wherever he goes
I'm going with him
That's all I really know
It must be hard on you and mama
But you were young once too
And papa I'm going with him
Just like mama went with you

He'll be leaving in the morning
So I'll pack my things tonight
He's got six weeks to feel
I promise you I'll write

I'm going with him
Wherever he goes
I'm going with him
That's all I really know
I'm going with him
Wherever he goes
I'm going with him
That's all I really know
