The Cheatin' Hotel - Hank Williams Jr.

When you check in the cheatin' hotel, you’ll be back

For another spin at the wheel and a race at the track

They’re off and runnin' down at the bar

This is Heather — This is John

They’re all down at the cheatin' hotel lookin' 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 playin' this game you’ll lose your mind

'Cause they’re thinkin' about him or her

Then they feel like a piece of dirt

It’s time to check out of the cheatin' 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 lookin' for a good time

It don’t take long to find a couple of guys at the cheatin' hotel

And then they go out on the dance floor

Now they got 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 they whisper low words

Are you married, why yes I am but that’s OK

And they know it’s really not, look at all the trouble they got

If you check in the cheatin' hotel

Somebody somewhere’s gonna 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 cheatin' hotel
