about

A classic country take about a philandering partner who is admitting to his wife that he made a mistake by having a one night stand, only to find out it was his wife having an affair herself and she would be leaving with the gardner. The song is a homage to the call and response country songs from years ago, inspired by "Wild Side of Life" by Hank Thompson and responded to by Kitty Wells with "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels".

lyrics

Baby, I’m sorry… Don’t know what else to say
I messed up and shouldn’t have treated you this way

See I was running with the big dogs… I was howlin’ at the moon
Now I feel like a snake in the grass, tears falling like a monsoon

Chorus

Cause it didn’t mean nothin’, just a one night stand
I’m not plannin a residency, I’ve got no world tours planned

Chorus
Solo

It was a moment of weakness, yes you, you know it’s true
I’m the baby in the bathwater and I’m in love with you

Chorus

Answer Song:
When you’re out running with the big dogs
Humpin’ whomever’s leg
I’ve been with the gardener in your own bed

What started out as “another thing” has now blossomed into love
This talk came at the perfect time because our time is up
I’ll have my stuff out by the weekend and P.S. The gardener quits
So as far as your one night stand goes baby… I really don’t give a shit

Cause you’re sorry
Yeah you’re sorry
You’re sorry
You’re sorry
