Lyrics Ricky Skaggs

Ricky Skaggs

Don't Cheat In Our Hometown

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 home town

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

Admit the question that I know would be nothing but lies

You spend all your past time, making me a clown

But if you're gonna cheat on me, don't cheat in our home town

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 tear down my name

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

Admit the question that I know would be nothing but lies.

You spend all your past time, making me a clown

But if you're gonna cheat on me, don't cheatin our home town
