He left you, she left me
Drowning in this misery
We stopped living when they said goodbye
We've been faithful to these blues
But I've had enough, now how 'bout you
Don't you think we've earned the right to go
Cheatin' on the blues tonight

Cheatin' on the blues tonight
Let's go out and do it right
Throw it into overdrive and
Get on down the road
Shake it til' the break of dawn
Party til' the heartache's gone
We'll have us a real good time
Cheatin' on the blues tonight

Pick you up, half past eight
You can bet I won't be late
With any luck, we'll make the dance by nine
We won't talk about the past
Let old memories die at last
Have some fun, keep it light
Cheatin' on the blues tonight

Cheatin' on the blues tonight
Let's go out and do it right
Throw it into overdrive and
Get on down the road
Shake it til' the break of dawn
Party til' the heartache's gone
We'll have us a real good time
Cheatin' on the blues tonight

Yeah, cheatin' on the blues tonight
Let's go out and do it right
Throw it into overdrive and
Get on down the road
Shake it til' the break of dawn
Party til' the heartache's gone
We'll have us a real good time
Cheatin' on the blues tonight

Yeah, we'll have us a real good time
Cheatin' on the blues tonight
