Don't Cheat in Our Hometown

(Ray Pennington - Roy Marcum)



Tonight my heart is beating low and my head is bowed

You've been seen with my best friend on the other side of town

I don't mind this waiting, don't mind this running 'round

But if you're gonna cheat on me don't cheat in our hometown.



Chorus:

How can I stand up to my friends and look 'Em in the eye

Admit the questions that I know would be nothing but lies

You spend all your pass time making me a clown

But if you're gonna cheat on me don't cheat in our hometown.

Now, there are no secrets in this little country town

Everyone knows everyone for miles and miles around

Your bright eyes and your sweet smile are driving me insane

You think it's smart to break my heart and run down my name.



Chorus:

How can I stand up to my friends and look 'Em in the eye

Admit the questions that I know would be nothing but lies

You spend all your pass time making me a clown

But if you're gonna cheat on me don't cheat in our hometown.



So if you're gonna cheat on me don't cheat in our hometown.
