WOMAN WITHOUT A HOME
(Don Reid) 

The Statler Brothers - 1972



 
She was young and I was older
She believed everything I told her
She gave her heart and soul to me
And more I wanted

She left home and gave her life to
Me alone and I had no right to
Treat her like I treated those before
But she loved it and wanted more

Sometimes I lied to make her happy
Sometimes she'd lie to see if I would lie some more

I hear now she's a mother
North Carolina with her lover
And I'll bet she daily cusses me
And she's got reason for it

But I hope life there is better
But I hope he don't let her
Have too much time to spend alone
'Cause she's a woman without a home
