She Songtext
von The Boot Scooters

I′m a man who likes the good things
And I've worked hard all my life
Got a house, a car and two strong sons
A caring, loving wife
But I′m a singer in a one man band
Who travels doing one night stands
While she's left at home holding the bag
Trying to understand

How a woman like her and a man like me
Could be happy and yet so sad
When everything leads to that old cliché
You have to take the good with the bad
But I never lose sight and I'm living the dream
One day my ship will come in
So be patient with me girl and know that I love you
I′ll be there as soon as I can


She keeps the home fires burning
She′s there for me even though I'm far away
She tells me she loves me
With a love so true it burns both night and day

She thinks sometimes I′m foolish
And there's been times I′d agree
Mistakes I've made along the road
That affected our serenity
But being together for some twenty odd years
I feel I′m a lucky man
So when I go away for these next few days
I know my heart's in good hands

She keeps the home fires burning
She's there for me even though I′m far away
She tells me she loves me
With a love so true it burns both night and day


Sometimes we fight and tempers flare
We say things that we don′t mean
When the storm has passed and calm subsides
We smile and both come clean
I hold her in my arms once more
Run my fingers through her hair
Then drift off in security
In just knowing that she's there

She keeps the home fires burning
She′s there for me even though I'm far away
She tells me she loves me
With a love so true it burns both night and day

Oh, she keeps the home fires burning
She′s there for me even though I'm far away
Oh, she tells me she loves me
With a love so true it burns both night and day
With a love so true it burns both night and day
With a love so true it burns both night and day
She
