Now I Lay Me Down To Cheat Lyrics - David Alan Coe |
|
Now I lay me down to cheat |
|
On the woman I love so |
|
And if I die between these sheets |
|
I pray to God she'll never know |
|
She's the best thing in this life |
|
Why she worships the ground that he walks on |
|
She waits up for him at night and worries |
|
Until he's safely home |
|
And she always believes his stories about overtime |
|
And in 20 years beside him cheatins never crossed her mind |
|
Aw but it crossed his |
|
Early last summer |
|
In a person of a neighbor that she still calls her friend |
|
And with a little push from drinkin one too many one night in the fall he gave in |
|
And now he wishes he could stop himself |
|
But theres no easy way |
|
So he lays down with his lover |
|
And silently he prays |
|
Now I lay me down to cheat |
|
On the woman I love so |
|
And if I die between these sheets |
|
I pray to God she'll never know |
|
In his heart and soul |
|
He knew he was playing a game he could never win |
|
But ya know, forbidden fruit is sweet |
|
Why it was sweet enough to make him risk it all again |
|
And now he's givin up on lookin for a way |
|
To fight the feeling |
|
So he prays this simple pray |
|
And hope it makes it past the hotel ceiling |
|
Now I lay me down to cheat |
|
On the woman I love so |
|
And if I die between these sheets |
|
I pray to God she'll never know |
