  • I stay torn between killing him and loving him
    He stays torn between neon lights and home
    How 'bout a honky tonk angel
    To tell me how this whole thing works

    Where's Tammy Wynette when you need her?

    I got a pack of camels I'm fixing to open
    'Cause I got an apron I'm fixing to tie on
    Tell me how you fry a skillet of chicken
    In high heels and a skirt

    Where's Tammy Wynette when you need her?
    Where's Tammy Wynette when you need her?
    Like a tease comb for a mess of hair
    'Cause you're trying to keep your man
    From that hussy over there
    And a cheap dress, tube top
    Looking for a cat fight
    Pretty little bar fly
    Doesn't think that I'm the kinda
    Good girl that's gonna go bad

    Where's Tammy Wynette when you need her?

    He's gonna sleep in them cowboy boots
    On that couch tonight
    I'm gonna sit at that kitchen table
    With a bottle of wine
    I'm gonna search that midnight radio
    'Til I find something that hurts

    Where's Tammy Wynette when you need her?
    Where's Tammy Wynette when you need her?
    Where's Tammy Wynette when you need her? Writer/s: DON POYTHRESS, JIMMY RITCHEY, LESLIE SATCHER
