Lyrics

Now this ain't no cheatin' song
Oh, that didn't do nothin'
Last night all alone in a honky tonk barroom
I met a girl with a drink of Beam in her hand
Woo, she had ruby red lips
Woo, she had coal black, black hair
And eyes that would tempt any old honky tonk man
Then she came and sat down at my table
And she placed her soft hands in mine
Mercy, and I found myself wanting to kiss her
And temptation was flowing just like cheap honky tonk wine
I was almost persuaded
To let me lose my pride
Yeah, lose it
I was almost persuaded
To push my conscience aside
Get out of here, conscience
Come here, honey
Then we danced and she whispered
"I need you
Take me away from here and be my big old southern man"
Then I looked in her eyes and I saw that look
And I saw something else
The reflection of my wedding band
Mercy
I was almost persuaded
To strip myself of my pride
And let a strange woman lead me on
Almost persuaded
But your sweet love made me stop and go home
That was really hard to do
