Can't seem to shake that country bit of me,I tried but it didn't work. The worst thing about country is someone loses a love, receives a broken heart or their dog runs away. This one is about two who's played the cheatin game. Here goes.

To Play That Cheatin Game
March 16, 2009
Words Written by
 Rose Marie Rideout


I took the words from my heart,
I quickly wrote them down.
Wasn't sure of where I went,
Or why I wear this hurting frown.
I know that things have changed,
I'm not the only one to blame.
Because we both broke the rules,
To play that cheatin game.


Another lifetime ago dear,
It now seems so far behind me,
I never saw it coming,
That wasn't suppose to be.
I'm not the only one to blame,
Because we both broke all the rules,
To play the cheatin game.

 Repeat first verse

Why is it that I feel dear,
That I have to pay the cost.
For a game that two had played,
The game I feel I've lost.
It wasn't only me dear,
Who ought to take the blame.
We both broke all the rules,
To play that cheatin game.

It wasn't only me dear,
Who ought to take the blame,
We both broke all the rules,
To play that cheatin game.

Pure Country - just the way that I like it! I can't help but think that there is something underlying with the last few writes! I know not tween' you and Fred, but I just know that someone close to you is hurtin' or has done the hurtin'. Enjoyed the read. Would love to hear it put to music.

Good. Maybe Clint Black? He used to sing with John Denver. Anyway, it's a dangerous game you've written about!!!

This has classic country all over it! Very well penned; can just hear Loretta Lynn (or Alan Jackson) singin' this song. A future hit! Very well penned; enjoyed~

Will not to condone cheating but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be taken back so all we can do is learn from them and make sure the lesson is never to let it happen again and not to live and love in that past. Great song Cuz and one I am sure you will do a good job with.
hugs
