CHEATIN' TIME
(Carl Mann / Larry Kee)


Carl Mann - 1975



She's got that come-on look in her big brown eyes again
That neon glow like velvet on her skin
And that old clock behind the bar's got five-till-nine
Lord, it's still three more hours till cheatin' time

Her tender touch sends chills all over me
A minute right now seems like eternity
But for looks as sweet and warm as cherry wine
I'll sit and wait impatiently till cheatin' time

Three more hours and then I'll drive the Devil
Down Highway Eleven, Riverside Motel
At the turn of the key, she'll belong to me till seven
Then we'll say goodbye till the next cheatin' time
Then we'll say goodbye till the next cheatin' time
