(Bob McDill) If I quit my job for the simple life Honey would you stand by me If I bought a little cabin on a mountainside Honey would you stand by me Would you be my one true friend Stick with me through thick and thin If the roof was old and the rain came in Honey would you stand by me If I tried my luck in Hollywood Honey would you stand by me If my break never came like I thought it would Honey would you stand by me Would you be my heart of gold And never complain when the money was low If your coat was thin and your shoes were old Honey would you stand by me And if I joined up with the rodeo Honey would you stand by me If we traveled around from show to show Honey would you stand by me Would you be a cowboy's dream And smile right on when times got lean If you didn't have nothin' but boots and jeans Honey would you stand by me Honey would you stand Honey would you stand by me Honey would you stand Honey would you stand by me Honey would you stand Honey would you stand by me
