[Verse 1]
Lord that road is hard on a wife and family
Seems I’ve no regard when the music sets me free
Can’t see that wicked grin down this old phone line
Baby I can’t pretend ... Ain’t no reason, ain’t no rhyme
[Hook]
It’s not what you say ... It’s how you say what you say
[Verse 2]
I know it’s tragic ... To have to leave the girl behind
It’s blues you just can’t lose ... Time after time
Tough to understand ... When we don’t speak face to face
Well baby I’m still your man ... But you can’t find a trace
[Hook]
It’s not what you say ... It’s how you say what you say
[Verse 3]
Now she’s in my dreams ... Where we’re always eye to eye
She knows what I mean ... The words just pass on by
A good woman to hold at night ... Makes a heart to heal
Man if you tell it right ... She knows just how you feel
[Hook]
It’s not what you say ... It’s how you say what you say
