Hank Williams Jr. - The Cheatin’ Hotel lyrics

[Hank Williams Jr. - The Cheatin’ Hotel lyrics]

When you check in the cheating hotel
You'll be back
For another spin at the wheel and
A race at the track
They're off and running down at the bar
This is Heather - This is John
They're all down at the cheating
Hotel looking for fun
Yea I'm the bartender in here
And it's quite a scene
The women get dressed to kill
And slip off their rings
Their husbands meet them an hour later
She'll have friends all around the table
And introduce the old man as
One of her latest flings

Then they go out on the dance floor
Now there's a new man to sway for
And touch and talk and sip some more red wine
Then the slow dances get much closer
And now's the time for low words
That guy there with your wife's
My husband but it's OK

Then I watch all of them leave
Then they share a stare and a squeeze
Now I don't know if it's wrong or right
I'm sure it feels good at the time
But if you keep on playing this
Game you'll lose your mind
'Cause they're thinking about him or her
Then they feel like a piece of dirt
It's time to check out of the cheating
Hotel and go home for good
We get quite a few attractive lonely wives
They come in the bar
Together about six forty-five
And sit down and say with their eyes
My friend and I are looking for a good time
It don't take long to find a couple
Of guys at the cheating hotel


Then they go out on the dance floor
Now there's a new man to sway for
And touch and talk and sip some more red wine
Then the slow dances get much closer
And now's the time for low words
That guy there with your wife's
My husband but it's OK

And they know it's really not
Look at all the trouble they got
If you check in the cheating hotel
Somebody somewhere's going to tell
And you'll be in the room from
Hell and you can't get away
The light blinks on and off
Bartender last round for us all
Oh they had a mighty hard fall
Down here at the cheating hotel
