Lyrics

Now this ain't no cheatin' song
'Cause I 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
She had ruby red lips, wooh, 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 outta here conscience
Wooh
Come here, honey
Then we danced and she whispered, "I need you
Take me away from here and be my big ol' southern man."
Then I looked in her eyes and I, I saw that look and I saw somethin' else
The reflection of my wedding band, mercy
I was almost persuaded
To strip myself of my pride, that strange woman leading me on
Almost persuaded
But your sweet love made me stop and go home
That was really hard to do
