If She Knew
Lyrics by Joshua Aaron Moore © April 2010.

I’ve been coming to this place for a few months now.
I meet Cassandra here those nights when we can both skip town.
It’s a 45 minute drive, but that’s the price I pay.
To keep the girl at home from finding out my cheating ways.

I’m at the bar with friends, I’m working late again.
I’ve used every tired excuse to cover up my sin.
So that when I lay my head down beside of hers.
She never has a reason to ever suspect the worse.

“What she don’t know won’t hurt her ,” I say.
And it won’t matter, cause at the end of the day.
I’m still a liar, still a cheater, still gonna do what I ought not to.
I never think about what she would do if she knew.

We’ve been married for over 22 long years now.
And like everything else, it’s had its ups and downs.
I never thought it would come to this, but I guess things change.
Turns out this ain’t a sweet home on the range.

He tells me that he’s working overtime.
That might be true in a world where pigs can fly.
I’ve known what he’s up to, I found her hair on his shirt.
I hope her blonde ass was worth a new home in the dirt.

“What she don’t know won’t hurt her,” he’ll say.
I wonder if he’ll change his tune when there’s a pistol in his face.
That cheating SOB is gonna get what he deserves to.
I wonder if he thinks about what I would do if I knew.

I bet she’d go to her mama’s.
(I think I’ll go to my mama’s)
And cry about what I’ve done.
(She’ll be surprised at what I’ve done)
I’ll sit at home alone, wondering if it was really worth my time.
He’ll be rotting in ground, for forever and all time.

“What she don’t know won’t hurt her,” I say.
I wonder if he’ll change his tune when there’s a pistol in his face.
I’m a liar, I’m a cheater
He’s gonna get what he deserves to.
I never think about what she would do if she knew.
He’s gonna wish he thought what I’d do if I knew.
