Backstory:

Sarah and Dan and I were throwing around some song ideas at the beginning of our co-write. Dan looked up some Irish toasts and we got our idea from the toast, changed and added words to it and adapted it into a story.

Lyrics:

                                                  
If You Cheat
John Cirillo (ASCAP)/ Dan Reifsnyder (ASCAP)/ Sarah Spencer (ASCAP)



He was driving somewhere ‘tween Gallup and Winslow 
On an old stretch of route 66
At the end of his rope, looking for hope
But he found this ol’ bar here instead

The neon was dusty; door hinges rusty
On the window a hand written sign
Between the Pabst and the Coors, and the two swinging doors				
Faded words, but he read it just fine

	Chorus:
If you cheat, hope its death that you're cheating,
If you lie, lie with someone you love,
If you fight, do it for the right reasons,
If you drink, then come drink one with us

The whole place was packed; waitress waved him on back
Set him up on the last stool
She said, man, I can tell you been going through hell
Well, we’ve all come out of there too
And we live by our own golden rule

If you cheat, hope its death that you're cheating,
If you lie, lie with someone you love,
If you fight, do it for the right reasons,
If you drink, then come drink one with us

Bridge:
All we can do is the best that we can
Cuz we’re all sinners, forgivers, and friends

If you cheat, hope its death that you're cheating,
If you lie, lie with someone you love,
If you fight, do it for the right reasons,
If you drink, then come drink one with us
