I know that cheatin? river runs by everybody? s door
And I might just fall in there anytime
? Cause I? m the kind of man who makes decisions on his own
And I? d go with you if I were so inclined
Let me tell you this if I fall in that cheatin? river
I? m looking for a genuine pearl
You? ll be the one, yes, you? ll be the one
If I ever fall in love with a honky-tonk girl
True love never runs but one direction at a time
And right now I? m in love with someone else
But if I should ever lose the love I? m loving at this time
I know I? d never break it up myself
And I won? t make any promises so I won? t have one to keep
But I? ve seen some sudden changes in this world
You? ll be the one, yes, you? ll be the one
If I ever fall in love with a honky-tonk girl
You? ll be the one, oh you? ll be the one
If I ever fall in love with a honky-tonk girl
