Woman In Every Man's Life

(álbum: Me And McDill - 1977)

He's in some bar a drinking she's home alone again
He's in town buying rounds and laughing with his friends
His supper's on the table still he ain't come home
She's looking 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 standing in the kitchen ironing 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...
