Every light is burnin', in a house across town

She's pacin' by the telephone in her faded flannel gown

Askin' for a miracle, hopin' she's not right

Prayin' it's the weather that's kept him out all night

She's waitin' by the window when he pulls into the drive

She runs back down the hallway, through the bedroom door.

She reaches for the pistol hidden in the dresser drawer.

Tells the lady in the mirror, "He won't do this again!".

Tonight'll be the last time she'll wonder where he's been...
