[Tritt:] David, maybe you could help me without going back and listening to the lyrics [Roth:] Sure, what's up, Travis? [Tritt:] You know what, do we wanna do everything in unison? Or you wanna swap back and forth? [Roth:] How 'bout I take the first two line And you take the second two lines And we just rock on from there? She came from Dallas That kid was aces She dressed like Texas Wide open spaces He drove a pickup And wore no underwear She sang the words wrong But he don't care They both were trouble They took a chance Now every snowflake pleads, "Not Guilty" After the avalanche Get it straight or honey, give it up You got to get right back to where you started from Are we gonna be late at the gate of dreams? Destiny's a complicated thing I was leavin' But I'm thinkin' that I ougtha stay, yeah I wanna chase you 'cross the dance floor At that old Cheatin' Heart Café She was atomic Without a doubt That cowgirl shirt she wore Contained a lot of fallout He was a cowboy, was what she wanted
The closest to a cow she'd been Was eating at McDonald's Just liked barbed wire Her attitude Protected the turf Without obstructing the view So get it straight or honey, give it up You gotta get right back to where we started from She took her clothes off but kept the boots He wanted Wonder Woman to tie him up and make him tell the truth All right, nothin' but the truth See I was leavin' But I'm thinkin' that I ougtha stay And I see that Honey, I have lost my way We got a permanent place At that old Cheatin' Heart Café You know we do Well, all right Doncha wanna go? I wanna chase you 'round the dance floor At that old Cheatin' Heart Café Here I come Chase each other round the room some, girl Comin' to get ya Gonna get it back Gotta get right back Gonna get it back Gotta get right back Gonna get it back Gotta get right back Gonna get it back Gotta get right back, yeah Gonna get it back Gotta get right back Gonna get it back
