In this deeply emotional track, the artist paints a vivid picture of heartbreak and betrayal. The song narrates the story of a man suspecting his partner's infidelity, with her actions and behavior hinting at a clandestine affair. The 'cheatin' songs' he refers to symbolize the pain and sorrow associated with deceit in relationships, harkening back to classic country music themes from the 1970s. He notes that such songs are making a comeback, just like his partner's unfaithfulness. The reference to diamond rings in her jeans pocket further strengthens his suspicions. Ultimately, this poignant ballad is a lament on love lost and the resurgence of old-school country themes of betrayal and heartache.
Cheatin’ Songs
Lyrics
Sometimes her jacket smells like cigarettes
But she hates to smoke
And when I ask her who she's hanging out with
She says no one I would know
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm not
Maybe she's guilty, maybe she's caught
She's bringing back cheatin' songs
The kind of hurt that gets you singin' along
Somethin' circa-1973
She's lyin' with him and she's lyin' to me
She's bringin' back diamond rings
Slipped in the pocket of her tight fittin' jeans
It's back in fashion doin' somebody wrong
She's bringin' back cheatin' songs
She used to call me on her way back home
But she don't call anymore
And when she's putting on that little black dress
Who's she wearin' it for?
Maybe I'm jealous, wouldn't you be?
If you saw the way she ain't lookin' at me
She's bringing back cheatin' songs
The kind of hurt that gets you singin' along
Somethin' circa-1973
She's lyin' with him and she's lyin' to me
She's bringin' back diamond rings
Slipped in the pocket of her tight fittin' jeans
It's back in fashion doin' somebody wrong
She's bringin' back cheatin' songs
Steel guitars are back in style
Like tears fallin' over her smile
Yeah, it's been a while since country music loved a fool
Runnin' around was cool
She's bringing back cheatin' songs
The kind of hurt that gets you singin' along
Somethin' circa-1973
She's lyin' with him and she's lyin' to me
She's bringin' back diamond rings
Slipped in the pocket of her tight fittin' jeans
It's back in fashion doin' somebody wrong
She's bringin' back cheatin' songs
She's bringin' back cheatin' songs
