She kept the light open, all night long

For me to come home, and sing her my song

Oh Debbie Denise was true to me

She'd wait by the window, so patiently

And I'd come on home with my hair hanging down

She'd pin it up, and softly smile



But I was out rolling with my band

And I was out rolling with my band



I never realized, she was so undone

I didn't suspect she had no life of her own

She was so true but she was a she

She was just there I would just come

Stumbling in she'd show me she'd care

I didn't care cause she was just there



But I was out rolling with my band

And I was out rolling with my band



I wouldn't come home for weeks at a time

She wouldn't accept that she was free

Oh Debbie Denise was true to me

She'd wait by the window so bitterly



Wanting me to come close, I guess I noticed

I couldn't see, so what could I say

That more affection could I show her

I had only one thing on my mind



When I come to her, she'd pin back my hair

And out past the fields out the window I'd stare



Where I was out rolling with my band

I was out rolling with my band
