She's cheatin'/He's leaving

Lyrics

EVERYTIME YOU CROSS A HEART IT'S MINE
©ROBERT HEATH AND GUIL MULLIN 1994

verse
WELL I'M BACK IN TOWN
WITH MY CHEQUE IN MY JEANS
I'M GONNA LOOK YOU UP
NOW THAT I GOT WAYS AND MEANS
YOU KNOW THAT OIL MONEY'S GONNA TAKE US
BOTH FAR FROM HERE
AND WE'LL JUST LOAD UP THAT DODGE
AND GET IN GEAR

build
BUT THROUGH YOUR PICTURE WINDOW
I SEE ANOTHER MAN IS THERE
AND HE'S KISSIN' YOU AND RUNNIN'
HIS FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR

chorus
NO MORE SWEARIN' ON THE BIBLE
YOU WON'T CROSS YOUR HEART THIS TIME
BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU CROSS A HEART IT'S MINE

verse
IT'S BITTER COLD ON THE RIGS
THE WIND BLOWS THROUGH YOUR BONES
AND YOU COUNT DOWN THE DAYS
UNTIL YOU GET TO GO HOME
I'LL LEAVE THE DAISIES THAT I PICKED FOR YOU
ON THE PORCH OUTSIDE
I'LL JUST WALK BACK TO THE CAR
AND CHOKE DOWN MY PRIDE

build
AND I WON'T SAY A WORD
YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT I'VE SEEN
I'LL BE BACK ON THE ROAD BEFORE
YOU KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN

chorus

bridge
I HAD PLANS FOR US BABY
BUT IT WILL NEVER BE
CALIFORNIA PALM TREES
THE SAND AND THE SEA

1/2 verse
AND THE HIGHWAY UNWINDS
IN THE COOL CRISP NIGHT AIR
I MIGHT JUST SEND YOU A POSTCARD WHEN I'M THERE
