Lyrics

THE WOMAN OUT WEST

He made my heart skip a beat or two
Just by walking through the door
Felt like I met him a lifetime ago
Instead of just one month before

As he told me the tale of his heartbreak
And the way she had confessed
I could see his eyes were weeping
For the woman he loves out west

When she brought to him the confession
Said it all had to end
She had traded years of his loving
For the arms of a mutual friend

Then she cut him with words - selfish and cruel
That sliced like the blade of a knife
And in spite of it all he loves her still
And he will for the rest of his life

CHORUS:
The woman out west plays piano
Sings while he plays his guitar
She’s loved by the man, handsome and tall
She’s a beauty, his bright, shining star

He said, “Thanks for your sweetness and bearing with me
And for lending the touch of your hand
I’m really not trying to chase you away
I just want you to know where I stand”

“Because right now I’m heart sick, and preoccupied
And I don’t know what I’m gonna do
For I’m deeply in love with the woman out west
Though she’s seemingly found someone new

The woman out west plays piano
Sings while he plays his guitar
She’s loved by the man, handsome and tall
She’s a beauty, his bright, shining star

REPEAT CHORUS
