Cheater's Road

INTRO: Down a dirt road down in southern Lousiana Flew a white Continental with the top laid back Pretty blonde sittin' on the seat of red leather Dust blowin' out of those well-worn tracks she's goin' back Moss hangin' down like beards in the bayou Old folks watchin' from their rockin' chairs Ain't no place for a girl of her station Gonna ruin her reputation but 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 listenin 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 INTRO Bed springs 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 CHORUS SOLO (muted chords) 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 When she said CHORUS INTRO Down Cheater's Road Oh tell me you think that I'm pretty Oh tell me you think that I'm smart REPEAT and fade
