CIt's hours past midnight G7I'm on my way home
And Fmy guilty Cconscience won't leave me G7alone
For CI've been out cheatin' with Fsomebody Cnew
FWhat makes me Cdo the G7bad things I Cdo
Back there at a truck-stop G7I washed my face
And FI checked the Cmirror for each tell-tell G7trace
For Clipstick or makeup that Fmight leave a Cclue
FWhat makes me Cdo the G7bad things I Cdo
I Fdon't understand what Cgets in my mind
To D7make me keep cheatin' G7time after time
I've Cgot a good woman so Floving and Ctrue
FWhat makes me Cdo the G7bad things I Cdo
Tomorrow at breakfast G7I hope she won't see
FThrough my lying Canswers when she questions G7me
I'll Ctell her that I met a Ffriend we once Cknew
FWhat makes me Cdo the G7bad things I Cdo
