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
