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
