Randy Travis - Reasons I Cheat lyrics

A working day, too 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 bearly 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

My children keep growing, my 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

The hair that I'm losing and a women who's choosing

To lay sound asleep by my side

The bills they are mounting that's 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 growing, my 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
