Lyrics

Girl You Never Knew
© 2021 Susan Anders/Zanna Songs

I like the glow that my welding rod makes
I like joking with the girls on the breaks
I like the paycheck that I get on Fridays
I like my steel-toed boots and baggy pants
I like doing something good with my hands
This war is awful but it, gave me a chance

Baby, sorry but I’m liking everything I do
Baby stay safe then come home to a girl you never knew

You’re out there fighting like it’s 1943
That world is gone now-- it changes more each week
I love you but I am not who I used to be

I pay our bills, I patch the roof, I fix the car
I got some muscles, honey, you should feel my arm
And I, can’t go back to the way it was, don’t be alarmed

Baby, sorry but I’m liking everything I do
Baby stay safe then come home to a girl you never knew

What will I do when the men all return?
What will I do with everything I’ve learned?

Baby, sorry but I’m liking everything I do
Baby stay safe then come home to a girl you never
Come home to a girl you never knew
