Cheater's Road

Down a dirt road down in southern Louisiana Flew a white continental with the top laid back Pretty blonde sitting on a seat of red leather Dust boiling out of her well-worn tracks She's goin' back Moss hangin' down like beards in the bayou Old folks watching from their rocking Chairs Ain't no place for a girl of her station Gonna ruin her reputation But she don't care Cause he's waiting there She says Chorus: Tell me anything and I'll believe it Cause I'm listening with my heart Maybe it's wrong but that's the way it goes When the only love you're getting's down cheater's road Bed springs rubbing her back through the blanket Sweat like a tear rolling down her neck Watching him pulling down the shades on the window She'd rather have him than an empty bed And her self-respect She says Chorus: Tell me anything and I'll believe it Cause I'm listening with my heart Maybe it's wrong but that's the way it goes When the only love you're getting's down cheater's road Her old man counting his money in the city Nothing but the bottom dollar on his mind The whole situation is downright pity He didn't even notice when she crossed that line But she crossed that line When she said Tell me you think that I'm pretty Tell me you think that I'm smart Tell me anything and I'll believe you Cause I'm listening with my heart Maybe it's wrong but that's the way it goes When the only love you're getting's down cheater's road Down cheater's road
