Now I Lay Me Down To Cheat

Lyrics

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
