?WHEN YOUR HUSBAND FINDS OUT?

When your husband finds out I?ve been seeing you honey
He?ll come and he?ll run me away
And when he finds out that we?ve been lovers
He?ll come and he might bring my dying day

(CHORUS)
There ain?t no place to hide, he?ll be looking for me there
And there ain?t no place to run, you didn?t tell me that he cared
And now I?m sitting in a bar room somewhere down in San Antone
Drinking shots of blended whiskey wishing Lord I?d stayed at home

Now why did you mislead me into this den of hell
It may sound a coward?s story but it?s one that I must tell
With a scalded twist of fate and the blood that?s on the floor
If I were you and you were him I think I?d be his friend

(CHORUS)
There ain?t no place that I can hide, cause he?ll be looking for me there
There ain?t no place to run, you didn?t tell me that he cared
I?m sitting in a bar room somewhere down in San Antone
Drinking shots of blended whiskey wishing Lord I?d stayed at home

(Solo ? Instrumental)

(CHORUS)
There ain?t no place to hide, cause he?ll be looking for me there
There ain?t no place to run, you didn?t tell me that he cared
And now I?m sitting in a bar room somewhere down in San Antone
Drinking shots of blended whiskey wishing Lord I?d stayed at home

As he lays on the floor now the law is closing in
He explained you were his everything and asked where I came from
Before he closed his eyes he just simply asked me why
I had no answer for my new friend cause I?d just shot him down

(LAST CHORUS with TAGLINE)
There ain?t no place to run and hide, cause they?ll be looking for me there
Damn the cold blood in your heart, you didn?t tell me that he cared
Now I?m sitting in a jail cell in downtown San Antone
Eating beans and rice and memories and what I can?t live down

When your husband found out I?d been seeing you honey
Who?d ever thought, no thanks to you, that things would turn this way
