Carolyn Lyrics - Someday We'll Look Back - Merle Haggard

Carolyn, let me tell you what I heard about a man today 

He didn't come home from work and he went away 

Till he came to a city, bright in the nighttime 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 

Yes, Carolyn a man will do that sometimes on his own 

And sometimes when he's lonely 

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 might do that sometimes out of spite 

But Carolyn, a man will do that always 

When he's treated bad at home
