Cheater's Road

INTRO: C
  F  C   F    G   C    F   C    F   G    C
Down a dirt road down in southern Lousiana
                                   F  F    F
Flew a white Continental with the top laid back
C
Pretty blonde sittin' on the seat of red leather
                          F    F     F           G G    C
Dust blowin' out of those well-worn tracks she's goin' back
Moss hangin' down like beards in the bayou
Old folks watchin' from their rockin' chairs
Ain't no place for a girl of her station
Gonna ruin her reputation but she don't care 'cause he's waitin there
She's gonna say
F             C
Tell me you think that I'm pretty
F            C
Tell me you think that I'm smart
F            C                                  G                C
Tell me anything and I'll believe it 'cause I'm listenin with my heart
Bb                               G
Maybe it's wrong but that's the way it goes
         F                         C
When the only love you get is down Cheater's Road

[Intro]
Bed springs rubbin' her back through the blanket
Sweat like a tear rollin' down her neck
Watchin' him pullin' down the shades on the window
She'd rather have him than an empty bed and her self respect
And she says
CHORUS

[Solo]
(muted chords)
Old man countin' his money in the city
Nothin' but the bottom dollar on his mind
The whole situation is a downright pity
He didn't even notice when she crossed that line when she crossed that line
When she said
CHORUS

[Intro]
Down Cheater's Road
   C             F                     C  F  G
Oh tell me you think that I'm pretty
     C          F                       C  F   G
Oh tell me you think that I'm smart
REPEAT and fade
