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 want to 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

Every 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
