Cheater's Road
Down a dirt road down in Southern Louisiana
Flew a white Continental with the top laid back
Pretty blonde sittin on a seat of red leather
Dust blowin out of those well worn tracks
Shes goin back
Moss hangin down like beards in the bayou
Old folks watchin from a rockin chair
Aint no place for a girl of her state
Shes gonna ruin her reputation
She dont care cause hes waitin there
Shes gonna say
(Chorus)
Tell me you think that Im pretty
Tell me you think that Im smart
Tell me anything and Ill believe it
Cause Im listening with my heart
Maybe its wrong but thats the way it goes
When the only love you get is down Cheaters Road
Bedspring rubbin her back through the blanket
Sweat like a tear rollin down her neck
Watchin him pullin down the shades on the window
Shed rather have him than an empty bed and her self respect
And she says
(Chorus)
Tell me you think that Im pretty
Tell me you think that Im smart
Tell me anything and Ill believe it
Cause Im listening with my heart
Maybe its wrong but thats the way it goes
When the only love you get is down Cheaters 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 didnt even notice when she crossed that line
When she crossed that line
And shesaid
(Chorus)
Tell me you think that Im pretty
Tell me you think that Im smart
Tell me anything and Ill believe it
Cause Im listening with my heart
Maybe its wrong but thats the way it goes
When the only love you get is down Cheaters Road
Down Cheaters Road
Oh tell me you think that Im pretty
Tell me you think that Im smart
Oh tell me you think that Im pretty
Tell me you think that Im smart
Oh tell me you think that Im pretty
Tell me you think that Im smart
