PARKING FOR CHEATERS
(Lee Emerson)


Dee Mullins - 1969


I went all over town, I found their meeting spot
A market on the corner with a big parking lot
>From the dark I watched them park, they were side by side
She jumped in the cheater's seat to take her cheater's ride

Parking for customers only
That's all the sign had to say
It should have read parking for cheaters
For I just saw two drive away

I don't know if I'm glad or sad that I found out
The truth can make you hurt, but it's better than doubt
Now somewhere in this town's another fool like me
Too bad he couldn't be here in this parking lot to see

Parking for customers only
That's all the sign had to say
It should have read parking for cheaters
For I just saw two drive away
For I just saw two drive away
