Cheatin` Heart Cafe Lyrics

Cheatin` Heart Cafe lyrics



[Tritt:] David, maybe you could help me without going back and listening to the
lyrics

[Roth:] Sure, what's up, Travis?

[Tritt:] You know what, do we wanna do everything in unison Or you wanna swap
back and forth?

[Roth:] How 'bout I take the first two line

And you take the second two lines

And we just rock on from there?



She came from Dallas

That kid was aces

She dressed like Texas

Wide open spaces

He drove a pickup and wore no underwear

She sang the words wrong

But he don't care

They both were trouble

They took a chance



Now, every snowflake pleads, "Not Guilty"

After the avalanche

Now get it straight

Or honey, give it up

You got to get right back to where you started from

Are we gonna be late

At the gate of dreams?

Destiny's a complicated thing



I was leavin' but I'm thinkin' that I ougtha stay, yeah

I wanna chase you cross the dance floor at that old Cheatin' Heart Cafe

She was atomic without a doubt

That cowgirl shirt she wore contained a lot of fallout

He was a cowboy, was what she wanted

The closest to a cow she'd been was eating at McDonald's

Just liked barbed wire

Her attitude

Protected the turf without obstructing the view

Now get it straight



Or honey, give it up

You gotta get right back to where we started from

She took her clothes off

but kept the boots

He wanted Wonder Woman

To tie him up and make him Tell the Truth

All right



Nothin' but the truth

See I was leavin' but I'm thinkin' that I ougtha stay, yeah

And I see that honey I have lost my way

We got a permanent place at that old Cheatin' Heart Cafe

You know we do

Well, all right!



Doncha wanna go?

I wanna chase you round the dance floor

At that old Cheatin' Heart Cafe

Chase each other round the room some, girl

Comin' to get ya

Get it back

Gotta get right back
