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 his life
Why she worships the ground that he walks on
She waits up for him at night and worries
Till he's safely home
She always believes his stories about workin' over time
And in 20 years beside him
Cheatin's never crossed her mind
Ah but it crossed his
Early last summer
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 there's no easy way
So he lays down with his lover
And silently he prays
In his heart and soul
He knew he was playin' 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 given up on lookin'
for a way to fight the feelin'
So he prays this simple pray
And hopes it makes its makes it past the motel ceilin'
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
