Reasons I Cheat

A working day too long, when everything goes wrong

And a boss who don't know I'm alive

I once had a notion I'd get that promotion

But now I barely survive.



A wife too demanding, with no understanding

Of why I stay dead on my feet

Adimly lit tavern, a willing youg woman

Are some of the reasons I cheat.



Chorus:

My children keep growin'

My age keeps on showin'

Like all of my old friends I meet

So, I'm gettig older

My life's growin' colder

Just some of the reasons I cheat.



--- Instrumental ---



The hair that I'm losing and a woman who's choosing

To lay sound asleep by my side

The bills they are mounting, that's when I start counting

On someone to help soothe my pride.



A lady that knows me, affection she shows me

And a smile so easy and sweet

The dreams that I've buried, the load that I carry

Are some of the reasons I cheat.



Chorus:

My children keep growin'

My age keeps on showin'

Like all of my old friends I meet

So, I'm gettig older

My life's growin' colder

Just some of the reasons I cheat.



Yes, I'm gettig older

My life's growin' colder

Just some of the reasons I cheat.
