Reasons I Cheat By Randy Travis 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 barely survive

A wife too 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

(chorus)
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 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 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 carry
Are some of the reasons I cheat

(repeat chorus)
Yes I'm getting older
My life's growing colder
Just some of the reasons I cheat
