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
