  • Well, I toss and turn in the sheets
    I close my eyes, but I can't sleep
    Another night waitin' up on her
    While this Bourbon and the porchlight burns
    No matter how hard she tries
    There's no way to hide what's been goin' on
    She don't smoke cigarettes
    And I don't wear cheap cologne

    She'll get in from God knows where
    I'll smell that honky tonk in her hair
    I don't know if there's someone she's holdin'
    But my suspicion keeps on growin'
    And a shower won't cover it up
    When she gets home
    She don't smoke cigarettes
    And I don't wear cheap cologne

    When she's done with the wine
    And comes home tonight
    And slips into this big ol' bed
    Well, I'll be gone
    She'll be there all alone
    Lyin' by herself instead

    When she's done with the wine
    And comes home tonight
    And slips into this big ol' bed
    Well, I'll be gone
    She'll be there all alone
    Lyin' by herself instead

    Well, I toss and turn in the sheets
    I close my eyes, but I can't sleep
    Another night waitin' up on her
    While this Bourbon and the porchlight burns
    No matter how hard she tries
    There's no way to hide what's been goin' on
    She don't smoke cigarettes
    And I don't wear cheap cologne
    No, she don't smoke cigarettes
    And I don't wear cheap cologne Writer/s: JIMMY RITCHEY, KEVIN R DENNEY, ODIE BLACKMON
