Chalee Tennison - Cheater's Road lyrics

rate me

Down a dirt road down in southern Louisiana

Flew a white continental with the top laid back

Pretty blonde sitting on a seat of red leather

Dust boiling out of her well-worn tracks

She's a goin' back

Moss hangin' down like beards in the bayou

Old folks watching from their rocking chairs

Ain't no place for a girl of her station

Gonna ruin her reputation

But she don't care

'Cause he's waiting there

And she says

(Chorus)

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're getting's down cheater's road

Bed springs rubbing her back through the blanket

Sweat like a tear rolling down her neck

Watching him pulling down the shades on the window

She'd rather have him than an empty bed

And her self-respect

So She says

(Repeat Chorus)

Her old man counting his money in the city

Nothing but the bottom dollar on his mind

The whole situation is a downright pity

He didn't even notice when she crossed that line

But she crossed that line

When she said

(Repeat Chorus)

Down cheater's road
