Lyrics
SITTIN ON THE SIDEWALK OF THIS OLD CROSSTOWN MOTEL
WHISKEY, SWEAT, AND CIGARETTES ARE ALL THAT I CAN SMELL
I KNOW WHAT I DONE LAST NIGHT WAS WRONG
BUT THIS MORNIN I FEEL ALRIGHT
THE TRUTH IS ONCE YOU CROSS THAT LINE IT GETS EASIER EVERYTIME
IN THE SHADOWS OF THE NEON HE ASK ME TO DANCE
WHEN HE HELD ME CLOSE I KNEW I DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE
FELT THE GUILT RUSH OVER ME
BUT TURNIN BACK NEVER CROSSED MY MIND
JUST LIKE DRINKIN WHISKEY IT GETS EASIER EVERYTIME
EASIER TO HURT YOU
EASIER TO LIE
EASIER TO THINK THAT WHAT I'M DOIN IS FINE
AINT NO DOUBT ABOUT IT THE PRICE THAT YOU PAY IS HIGH
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO CHEATIN IT GETS EASIER EVERYTIME
CALLED HIM FROM A STRANGERS ARMS SAYIN THAT I WAS ALONE
STAYIN WITH MY SISTER TONIGHT I AINT GONNA MAKE IT HOME
HOW THE HELL CAN I FACE HIM
LOOK HIM STRAIGHT IN THE EYE
SAY I LOVE YOU BABY, IT GETS EASIER EVERY TIME
EASIER TO HURT YOU
EASIER TO LIE
EASIER TO THINK THAT WHAT I'M DOIN IS FINE
AINT NO DOUBT ABOUT IT THE PRICE THAT YOU PAY IS HIGH
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO CHEATIN IT GETS EASIER EVERYTIME
