Woman Walk the Line

(Paul Kennerley - Emmylou Harris)



Don't bother sittin' at my table

Just because I'm on my own

Yes, I'm a woman and I'm lonely

But that don't mean I can't be strong.



Once again he's not beside me

And tonight he won't be coming home

So I just need a place to miss my baby

When he goes out to do me wrong.



Tonight I wanna do some drinkin'

I came to listen to the band

Yes, I'm as good as what you're thinkin'

But I don't want to hold your hand.



And I know I'm lookin' lonely

But there's nothing here I want to find

It's just the way of a woman

When she goes out to walk the line.



Evrery night's a little longer

Than the one that came before

But when I hear them sing a sad song

I know just what I'm cryin' for.



I don't want to stay home waitin'

Don't have to wonder where he's been

He'll be someone else's baby

Before he's in my arms again.



Tonight I wanna do some drinkin'

I came to listen to the band

Yes, I'm as good as what you're thinkin'

But I don't want to hold your hand...
