Lyric Cheater s Road

Down a dirt road in southern Louisiana
Flew a white Continental with the top laid back
Pretty blonde sittin on a seat of red leather
Dust blowin outta those well wore tracks
She goin back

Moss hangin down like beards in the bayou
Old folks watchin from a rockin chair
Ain t no place for a girl of her state
She s gonna ruin her reputation
She don t care cause he s waitin there
She s gonna say

Tell me you think that I m pretty
Tell me you think that I m smart
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 get is down
Cheater s road

Bedsprings rubbin her back through the blanket
Sweat like a tear rollin down her neck
Watchin him pullin down the shades on the window
She d rather have him than an empty bed and her self respect
And she says

Tell me you think that I m pretty
Tell me you think that I m smart
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 get is down
Cheater s road

Old man countin his money in the city
Nothin but the bottom dollar on his mind
The whole situation is a downright pity
He didn t even notice when she crossed that line
When she crossed that line
And 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 it
Cause I m listening with my heart
Maybe it s wrong but that s the way it goes
When the only love you get is down
Cheater s road

Down cheater s road
Oh tell me you think that I m pretty
Tell me you think that I m smart
Oh tell me you think that I m pretty
Tell me you think that I m smart
Oh tell me you think that I m pretty
Tell me you think that I m smart
