Reasons I Cheat

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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 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've carried, 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

[Outro]
Yes, I'm getting older, my life's growing colder, just some of the reasons I cheat
