Almost Persuaded ft. John Paul White

Last night, all alone in a barroom

I met a girl with a drink in her hand

She had ruby red lips and coal black hair

And eyes that would tempt any man

And she came and sat down at my table

And as she placed her soft hands in mine

Well, I found myself wanting to kiss her

For temptation was flowing like wine

And I was almost persuaded

To strip myself of my pride

Almost persuaded

To push my conscience aside

Then we danced and he whispered, "I need you

Let me take you away from here and be your man"

And then I looked in his eyes and I saw it

The reflection of my wedding band

And I was almost persuaded

To let strange lips lead me on

Almost persuaded

But your sweet love made me stop and go home

Almost persuaded

But you sweet love made me stop and go home
