Lonestar - Cheaters Road

(jason sellers/sharon rice)

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

Aint no place for a girl of her state

Shes gonna ruin her reputation

She dont care cause hes waitin there

Shes gonna say

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

Bedsprings 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

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 she said

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
