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 some else's baby before he's in my arms again
Tonight I wanna do some drinkin'...
