Life Without Him

A woman loves a man who is criminally minded. She discovers she cannot change him.

A woman cannot control her heart,
Who she loves can tear her apart;
without a clue of what he does,
when he's a rebel without a cause.

I've roped myself a hurricane,
His heart the only thing I've tamed;
And off to prison once again,
My crying heart goes off with him.

The pain I feel as he goes away,
Will bide with me throughout my days;
My nights in lonely solitude,
As I pray to the Lord I'll make it through.
