Cheatin' Arms Hotel
There's an old man at the front desk
Of this small hotel
His tired eyes have seen it all
But you know he'd never tell
And though I know he recognizes
You and me
He just says please sign the register
And then hands you the key
And he says
Welcome to the Cheatin' Arms Hotel
The rooms are small, no view at all
But they serve their purpose well
Keeping secrets is the service that we sell
So welcome to the Cheatin' Arms Hotel
He must know what we're thinking
How we hate the way we hide
And guess at all the lies we've told
And all the times we've cried
He must wonder 'bout our families
And a love that brings such pain
But he just says "now, Mr. Smith
Will that be cash again?"
And he says
Welcome to the Cheatin' Arms Hotel
The rooms are small no view at all
But the locks work very well
Keeping secrets is the service that we sell
So welcome to the Cheatin' Arms Hotel
