Woman of the Road

[Verse 1]
Any port in a storm
You've heard it before
From those whose lives are storm
The eye of the storm
To keep the heart warm
The hurricane shield and the torch
And all the waves come crashing through the door
Electric heat upon the veins
And all the clothes go tumbling to the floor
When will I see you again?

[Verse 2]
Ball and chain
You've heard it before
That things aren't right at home
They're planning to leave
They already left
They can't live without you or with
And all they say is old and stale
These are not honorable men
And yet you light the candle the same
When will I see you again?

[Verse 3]
Old and gray
You've heard it before
When as a child you played roles
But all of the men
Were boring "good friends"
And all of their love was cold
And please don't stay, please don't go
I am the woman of the road
Night and day are much the same
When your eyes have closed
When will I see you again?
