WOMAN WHO IS WAITING
(Arthur Thomas)


Faron Young - 1968





Feet take me from this bar fast as you can
I've got to leave here now while I'm still half a man
Cause temptation I feel tonight is far from small
I had better leave now before I fall

I know I should have never come in here at all
I was askin' for trouble by not stayin' home
Cause the beer and wine will numb my brain
And I'll think of ev'rything except
The woman who waits for me at home

But how am I suppose to keep my head
When ev'ryone in here is losing theirs
And that girl at the bar sure looks good to me
I guess I'll prove how weak a man can really be

Looks like I've lost the battle between right and wrong
I know now that I'll be here till early dawn
I'll just pretend that I don't need and never really loved
The woman who waits for me at home
The woman who waits for me at home
