Cheatin' Heart Cafe

(álbum: Your Filthy Little Mouth - 1994)

[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

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 leaving
But I'm thinking that I ougtha stay, yeah
I wanna chase you 'cross the dance floor
At that old Cheating Heart Café

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

So 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, nothing but the truth

See I was leaving
But I'm thinking that I ougtha stay
And I see that
Honey, I have lost my way
We got a permanent place
At that old Cheating Heart Café

You know we do
Well, all right
Doncha wanna go?

I wanna chase you 'round the dance floor
At that old Cheating Heart Café
Here I come

Chase each other round the room some, girl
Coming to get ya

Gonna get it back
Gotta get right back
Gonna get it back
Gotta get right back

Gonna get it back
Gotta get right back
Gonna get it back
Gotta get right back, yeah

Gonna get it back
Gotta get right back
Gonna get it back
