Lyrics
At the moment she said that she loved me, her eyes said she just didn't know.
She wiped a bead of sweat from the top of her lip so the little lie wouldn't show.
Now I'm walking away with my hat in my hand; I don't know what I did but I did it again.
Now a real good woman just left this pretty good man.
Chorus: How come a real good woman can't love this pretty good man?
If you ask me about it, I'm doing the best that I can.
I've been walking the line, most of the time but still I don't understand
Why a real good woman stopped loving this pretty good man.
I know lots of women who stand by their man; some not much better than me.
They don't have much trouble staying as a couple, at least as far as I can see.
I know I'm not the finest horse in the stable but I do what I can, whenever I am able
But this real good woman just left this pretty good man.
Chorus: How come a real good woman can't love this pretty good man?
If you ask me about it, I'm doing the best that I can.
I've been walking the line, most of the time but still I don't understand
Why a real good woman stopped loving this pretty good man.
Chorus: How come a real good woman can't love this pretty good man?
If you ask me about it, I'm doing the best that I can.
I've been walking the line, most of the time but still I don't understand
Why a real good woman stopped loving this pretty good man.
