Almost Persuaded Songtext / Lyric

Now this ain't no cheating song, cause I didn't do nothing

Last night all alone in a honky tonk barroom

I met a girl with a drink of beam in her hand

She had ruby red lips and coal black, black hair

and eyes that would tempt any honky tonk man

Then she came and sat down at my table

and as she placed her soft hands in mine

I found myself wanting to kiss her

for temptation was flowing like cheap honky tonk wine



And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride

Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside



Then we danced and she whispered I need you

Take me away from here and be my big ol' southern man

Then I looked into her eyes and I saw that look and

I saw something else the reflection of my wedding band



And I was almost persuaded to stip myself of my pride

Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home



That was really hard to do
