Cheap Imitation

Mel Tillis · Sawmill [1973]

(Ronal McCown)



She was just another cheap imitation of you.



The mem'ry keeps me running round to last night out on the town

I met someone to chase away my blues

But her blonde hair and her blue eyes were all that live through a sunrise

She was just another cheap imitation of you.



She kept saying all alone I was right and you were wrong

So I listened like a broken heart would do

But nothing turned out right cause when I saw her in the light

She was just another cheap imitation of you.



--- Instrumental ---



Running from your memory it's hard to hide in misery

But it's so easy to believe a love is true

So last night one more time I got out of my mind

And I won't count with cheap imitation of you.



She kept saying all alone I was right and you were wrong...
