The Cheatin' Hotel
Lyrics
When you check in the cheatin' hotel, you'll be back For another spin at the wheel and a race at the track They're off and runnin' down at the bar This is Heather - This is John They're all down at the cheatin' hotel lookin' for fun Yea I'm the bartender in here and it's quite a scene The women get dressed to kill and slip off their rings Their husbands meet them an hour later She'll have friends all around the table And introduce the old man as one of her latest flings Then they go out on the dance floor Now there's a new man to sway for And touch and talk and sip some more red wine Then the slow dances get much closer And now's the time for low words That guy there with your wife's my husband but it's OK Then I watch all of them leave Then they share a stare and a squeeze Now I don't know if it's wrong or right I'm sure it feels good at the time But if you keep on playin' this game you'll lose your mind 'Cause they're thinkin' about him or her Then they feel like a piece of dirt It's time to check out of the cheatin' hotel and go home for good We get quite a few attractive lonely wives They come in the bar together about six forty-five And sit down and say with their eyes My friend and I are lookin' for a good time It don't take long to find a couple of guys at the cheatin' hotel And then they go out on the dance floor Now they got a new man to sway for And touch and talk and sip some more red wine Then the slow dances get much closer And now they whisper low words Are you married, why yes I am but that's OK And they know it's really not, look at all the trouble they got If you check in the cheatin' hotel Somebody somewhere's gonna tell And you'll be in the room from hell and you can't get away The light blinks on and off Bartender last round for us all Oh they had a mighty hard fall down here at the cheatin' hotel
