Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments — Cheater's Heaven lyrics

Lyrics

Told my wife I was going out for a couple of beers
Said I’ll see her in a couple of years
Burning bridges, stopwatch record time
'Cross the border, I saw the neon
I’ve never been in this bar before
I’ve never been in this bar before
Name of the place was Cheater’s Heaven
The name of the place was Cheater’s Heaven
Where you can cheat all night
The woman was one-legged red-haired Mary
We staggered time and toasted cemeteries
More than loss of limes and cheap liquor
We wondered which way to our home was quicker
I’ve never had this good a time before
I’m not missing anyone
Name of the place was Cheater’s Heaven
The name of the place was Cheater’s Heaven
Every honest man must live in hell
Then again, I’m not the one to tell
Every honest man must be dyin'
Every honest man should be lyin'
Groping strangers, flash in a hurry
Parking lot lit up, enough to get you worried
There’s only one border left to cross in this city
On the other side I left a wife so sweet
I’m never gonna leave this bar again
No, I’m never gonna leave this bar again
Name of the place is Cheater’s Heaven
Name of the place is Cheater’s Heaven
