I know that cheatin river runs by everybodys door
And I might just fall in there anytime
Cause Im the kind of man who makes decisions on his own
And Id go with you if I were so inclined
Let me tell you this if I fall in that cheatin river
Im looking for a genuine pearl
Youll be the one, yes, youll be the one
If I ever fall in love with a honky-tonk girl
True love never runs but one direction at a time
And right now Im in love with someone else
But if I should ever lose the love Im loving at this time
I know Id never break it up myself
And I wont make any promises so I wont have one to keep
But Ive seen some sudden changes in this world
Youll be the one, yes, youll be the one
If I ever fall in love with a honky-tonk girl
