In Another Woman's Arms lyrics

Every night I used to get warm

By the bathroom heater

A cold one-bedroom house

My father was the neighborhood cheater

Oh, how I dreaded wearing

My one dress to the summer dance

Strutting along

With a back wood boy in baggy pants

Chorus:

How I dreamed to change my life some way

Or end it in a bayou bay

I wanted love, I always thought

But every man I loved I always caught

Wrapped up in another woman's arms

One night I drove in and watch a drive-in movie

The hero rode a motorbike

And every word he said was groovy

He picked up a girl, who looked a lot like me

And rode her all around

The movie ended when they fell in love and settled down

Repeat Chorus

Searching too hard, I fell in love with a married man

He gave me a son

And day and night, the back of his hand

Every morning when I woke up

I felt an empty space

He was living down at Rosie's drinking up the whole damn place

Repeat Chorus
