Bobby Bare - The Woman In Every Man's Life lyrics

He's in some bar a drinkin', she's home alone again He's in town buyin' rounds and laughin' with his friends His supper's on the table still he ain't come home She's lookin' out the window with a front porch light on She's the woman in every man's life A candle in the window on the darkest night A sister and a mother, a lover and a wife She's a woman in every man's life She's a standin' in the kitchen ironin' his shirt Tears fall on the collar like little drops of hurt When he's spent his money he'll stumble home again And she'll get out bed and turn on light and let him in She's the woman in every man's life A candle in the window on the darkest night A sister and a mother a lover and a wife She's a woman in every man's life Somehow she defends him again and again She'll stand up to her mother and hide it from her friends And somehow she forgives him for all he's guilty of And that takes a lot of woman that takes a lot of love She's the woman in every man's life A candle in the window on the darkest night A sister and a mother a lover and a wife She's a woman in every man's life She's the woman in every man's life A candle in the window on the darkest night A sister and a mother a lover and a wife She's a woman in every man's life
