reasons i cheat

a working day to 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 barley survive

a wife to demanding with no understanding

of why i stay dead on my feet

a dimly lit tavern a willing young woman

are some of the reasons i cheat

the hair that i'm losing and a women who's choosing

to lay sound asleep by my side

the bills they are mounting thats when i start counting

on someone to help sooth 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've carried

are some of the reasons i cheat

my children keep on growing me age keeps on showing

like all of my old friends i meet

so i'm getting older my life's growing colder

just some of the reasons i cheat

yes i'm getting older my life's growing colder

just some of the reasons i cheat
