Lyrics Don't Cheat In Our Hometown - Ricky Skaggs , Keith Whitley

(Ray Pennington - Roy Marcum)

Tonight my heart is beating low and my head is bowed
You've been seen with my best friend on the other side of town
I don't mind this waiting, don't mind this running 'round
But if you're gonna cheat on me don't cheat in our hometown.

Chorus:
How can I stand up to my friends and look 'Em in the eye
Admit the questions that I know would be nothing but lies
You spend all your pass time making me a clown
But if you're gonna cheat on me don't cheat in our hometown.

--- Instrumental ---

Now, there are no secrets in this little country town
Everyone knows everyone for miles and miles around
Your bright eyes and your sweet smile are driving me insane
You think it's smart to break my heart and run down my name.

Chorus:
How can I stand up to my friends and look 'Em in the eye
Admit the questions that I know would be nothing but lies
You spend all your pass time making me a clown
But if you're gonna cheat on me don't cheat in our hometown.

So if you're gonna cheat on me don't cheat in our hometown.
