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 wanna hold your hand      And I know I'm lookin' lonely   But there's nothin' here I wanna 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 wanna 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 wanna hold your hand      And I know I'm lookin' lonely   But there's nothin' here I wanna find   It's just the way of a woman   When she goes out to walk the line      It's just the way of a woman   When she goes out to walk the line
