Lyrics
A working day too long
when everything goes wrong
And a boss who don't know I'm alive
I once had a notio
I'd get that promotion
But now I barely survive
A wife too demanding
with no understanding
Of why I stay dead on my feet
A dimly lit tavern
a willing youg woman
Are some of the reasons I cheat
My children keep growin'
My age keeps on showin'
Like all of my old friends I meet
So I'm gettig older
My life's growing colder
Just some of the reasons I cheat
The hair that I'm losing
and a woman who's choosing
To lay sound asleep by my side
The bills they are mounting
that's when I start counting
On someone to help soothe my pride
A lady that knows me
affection she shows me
And a smile so easy and sweet
The dreams that I've buried
the load that I carry
Are some of the reasons I cheat
My children keep growin'
My age keeps on showin'
Like all of my old friends I meet
So I'm gettig older
My life's growing colder
Just some of the reasons I cheat
Yes, I'm gettig older
My life's growing colder
Just some of the reasons I cheat
