Now I Lay Me Down To Cheat Lyrics

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
