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 working 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 |

I found a woman
I felt a true love She was everything I'd ever been dreaming of But she was bad, I didn't know it Her pretty smile never did show it All I knew is what I could see And I knew I wanted her for me Took her home to mama Mama, wanna see my future bride Well she looked at us both Then she called me to her side She said son, take time to know her It's not an overnight thing Take time to know her Please don't go rushin to do your thing But I didn't listen to my mama I went straight to the church I just couldn't wait for that little girl of mine When I got off from work The preacher was there So was my future bride He looked at us both and he called me to his side Take time to know her Not an overnight fling Take time to know her Don't go rushin to do your thing But it looks like every thing's gonna turn out all right But then I came home from work a little early one night And there she was kissin on another man Now I know what mama meant when she took me by the hand She said, take time to know her Not an overnight fling Take time to know her Don't go rushin to do your thing She said, take time to know her Not an overnight fling Take time to know her Don't go rushin to do your thing Take time to know her |

I ain't gonna call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
Even though I know what all his daddy done before Hank weighs close to 200 pounds and he stands about 6 foot 4 And it's hard to call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore Just a little bit of Waylon sure goes a long way But old Tex Ritter rode his horse and that was hell to pay Willie said,"Don't nobody lay a hand on the bay Jimmie Rodgers is the only reason that I'm standin' here today" And I ain't gonna call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore Even though I know what all his daddy done before Hank weighs close to 200 pounds and he stands about 6 foot 4 And it's hard to call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore Dickey Betts Hank sang it all right from the heart, took the whole world by surprise Stood right next to Elvis in Memphis and looked him straight in the eyes Ten years later young Bocephus busted through the door And I just can't call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore I ain't gonna call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore Even though I know what all his daddy done before Hank weighs close to 200 pounds and he stands about 6 foot 4 And it's hard to call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore From Alabama young Bocephus busted through the door And I just can't call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore |

Well when you're down on your luck and you ain't got a buck in London you're a goner
Even London Bridge has fallen down and moved to Arizona Now I know why and I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor Is drier than the Texas sand You can put up your dukes or you can bet your boots but I'm leavin' as fast as I can I want to go home with the armadillo good country music from Amarillo and Abilene The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen Well it's cold over here Lord I swear I wish they'd turn the heat on And where in the world is that English girl I promised I would meet on the third floor And of the whole damn lot the only friend I got is a smoke and a cheal guitar My mind keeps rollin' and my heart keeps yearnin' to be home in Texas bar I want to go home with the armadillo... Well I decided that I'd get my cowboy hat and go down to Marble Arch Station Cause when a Texas fancies he'll take his chances Chances will be taken that's for sure And them Limey eyes they were eyin' the prize some people call manly footwear And they said you're from down south and when you open your mouth Son you always seem to put yout foor there I want to go home with Armadilla... I want to go home with Armadilla... |

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
giving all your love to just one man. You'll have bad times And he'll have good times, Doin' things that you don't understand. But if you love him you'll forgive him, even though he's hard to understand. And if you love him Oh be proud of him, 'Cause after all he's just a man. Stand By Your Man, Give him two arms to cling to, And something warm to come to when nights are cold and lonely. Stand By Your Man, And tell the world you love him. Giving all the love you can. Stand By Your Man. Stand By Your Man, And show the world you love him. Keep giving all the love you can; |

I used to spend my nights out
In a bar room Liquor was the only love I'd known But you rescued me from reaching for the bottom Brought me back from being too far gone You're as smooth as Tennesee whiskey You're as sweet as strawberry wine You're as warm as a glass of Brandy And I stay stoned on your love all the time I looked for love In all the same old places Found the bottom of the bottle's Always dry But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it Cause there's nothing like your love To get me high You're as smooth as Tennesee whiskey You're as sweet as strawberry wine You're as warm as a glass of Brandy And I stay stoned on your love all the time I stay stoned on your love all the time |

Well I'm finally gettin' used to the water
The way the tarantulas bite Those federals didn't believe I only came here to watch the bulls fight Tell my mother, "I need a good lawyer" Tell my father, "I'm getting a tan" My sleepy siesta down south of the border Is taking more time than I planned Oh Juanita somebody betrayed me They've given me ten years to life Juanita I need you to save me I promise I'll make you my wife I got a big house in Milwaukee With a color TV and a pool A Naugahyde bar and a Cadillac car Juanita they're waiting for you Tie the burro up down in the courtyard To keep the guard busy tonight When you bring my dinner make sure the tortilla Is filled with a gun or a knife Hey Juanita somebody betrayed me They've given me ten years to life Juanita I need you to save me I promise I'll make you my wife Juanita you'll love Wisconsin Wisconsin is gonna love you Yes, all of Milwaukee speaks Spanish Of course you're gonna wear American shoes Lake Michigan tastes like tequila Frijoles why they grow there on trees You can say adios to the pigs and the goats If you'll just do this one thing for me But Juanita somebody betrayed me They've given me ten years to life Juanita I need you to save me I promise I'll make you my wife Juanita, I, I swear it was all a mistake You see I was drowning out there in the ocean And I saw this bale coming by man So I grabbed it and I climbed up on top of it And I found this stick and I rowed myself into shore And when I got there The border patrol was waiting for me At the I didn't know what it was I promise you if you'll just marry me So I can become a citizen of Mexico I'll take you to Milwaukee You can meet all my friends They got these big shiny motorcycles And you can ride on the back of 'em with 'em Really, Juanita would I lie to you? |

Would you lay with me in a field of stone
If my needs were strong would you lay with me Should my lips grow dry would you wet them dear In the midnight hour if my lips were dry Would you go away to another land Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand Wipe the blood away from my dying hand if I give myself to you Would you bathe with me in the stream of life When the moon is full will you bathe with me Will you still love me when I'm down and out In my time of trials will you stand by me Would you go away to another land Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand Wipe the blood away from my dying hand if I give myself to you Would you lay with me in a field of stone If my needs were strong would you lay with me |
