Cheater's 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

Ain't no place for a girl of her state

She's gonna ruin her reputation

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 listening 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



Bedsprings 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



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 listening 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



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

And she said

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 listening 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



Down cheater's road

Oh tell me you think that i'm pretty

Tell me you think that i'm smart

Oh tell me you think that i'm pretty

Tell me you think that i'm smart

Oh tell me you think that i'm pretty

Tell me you think that i'm smart
