Jean Shepard Lyrics
"Outstanding in Your Field"

(Larry Lee)

You're outstanding in your field and that's where you ought to be
Outstanding in your field in quick sand to your knees
You know he loves me true but you must tie him one more time
You're outstanding in your field but you'd rather be in mine.

In the field of stealing love you're public enemy one to three
The next two lips on your list are kissed by only me
Love grows greener round my field and you're the jealous kind
You're outstanding in your field but you'd rather be in mine.

You're outstanding in your field and that's where you ought to be
Outstanding in your field in quick sand to your knees
You know he loves me true but you must tie him one more time
You're outstanding in your field but you'd rather be in mine.

--- Instrumental ---

You seen his arms around me across a fence from you
Now you're wrapped in my green pasture and there's nothing you want do
But I think you see you're coming and I can tell you're tryin'
You're outstanding in your field but you'd rather be in mine.

You're outstanding in your field and that's where you ought to be
Outstanding in your field in quick sand to your knees
You know he loves me true but you must tie him one more time
You're outstanding in your field but you'd rather be in mine...
