Reasons I Cheat

A working day to 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 barley 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 on 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 carry
Are some of the reasons I cheat

My children keep on 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
