Story behind the song
My wife and I saw a story on CNN one nigth about how 50% of all married couple will suffer some infidelity. "I'm too tired to cheat," she said, and I bolted for the studio.
Lyrics
I had a real long day, I'm so glad to be home
Honey, turn off the news and unplug the phone
Why don't you pour me a drink, make it good and stout
Baby I can explain what this is all about
I know you found that note when you were washing my pants
But I had to turn down that offer of a part-time romance
Chorus
I'm too tired to cheat, I've got an aching back
I don't have the reserves to mount a double attack
I need something to eat, I'm running on empty
I wouldn't have what it takes even if she could tempt me
Instrumental Break
Bridge
People go stepping out all the time
When they need a change of scenery
But all that getting your stories straight
Sounds like a lot of work to me
So if you pick up the phone, and there's a girl on the line
Won't you please tell her maybe some other time
Chorus
I'm too tired to cheat, I need to soak my feet
It's not a matter of trust, I'm too tired to cheat
It's not a question of lust, I'm too tired to cheat
