Reasons I Cheat Songtext
von Randy Travis

A working day too long
when everything goes wrong
And a boss who don′t know I'm alive
I once had a notio
I′d get that promotion
But now I barely survive

A wife too demanding
with no understanding
Of why I stay dead on my feet
A dimly lit tavern
a willing youg woman
Are some of the reasons I cheat

My children keep growin'
My age keeps on showin'
Like all of my old friends I meet
So I′m gettig older
My life′s growing colder
Just some of the reasons I cheat


The hair that I'm losing
and a woman 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 soothe 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 carry
Are some of the reasons I cheat

My children keep growin'
My age keeps on showin′
Like all of my old friends I meet
So I'm gettig older
My life's growing colder
Just some of the reasons I cheat

Yes, I′m gettig older
My life′s growing colder
Just some of the reasons I cheat
