Almost Persuaded

(album: Countrywide Soul - 2019)

Last night all alone in a barroom
I met a girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips and cold dark hair
And eyes that could tempt any man

And as she came and sat down at my table
And she places her hand next to mine
Well I found myself wanting to hold her
Temptation was flowing like wine

And I was almost persuaded
To strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded
To set my conscience aside

And as we danced she whispered "I need you"
Take me with you, please be my man
But then I looked into her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band

And I was almost persuaded
To let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded
But then your sweet love made me stop and go home
But then your sweet love made me stop and go home
