Stopped by the bar to hear this new band
Drinks started flowing, guess I should just understand
Marlena, you cheatin' whore!
Nailed to the barstool with her hand on my thigh
Never understood why I never wondered why
Marlena, you cheatin' whore!
Got no idea how I didn't see
That trainload of bullshit that was coming for me
Marlena, you cheatin' whore!
Just that girl and me were there, if I'd only known
That train that I was ridin' had a couple fellas on
Marlena, you cheatin' whore!
You use your pain as an excuse to explain your actions away
You've got to live the blues to play the blues, or so they all say
Lickin' locals like you love them ain't the way to get ahead
I can't believe I let your nasty ass lay down in my bed!
By the time the night was over, I was feelin' all right
Ridin' bareback underneath the velvet moonlight
Marlena, you cheatin' whore!
You use your pain as an excuse to explain your actions away
You've got to live the blues to play the blues, or so they all say
Lickin' locals like you love them ain't the way to get ahead
I can't believe I let your nasty ass lay down in my bed!
Can't begin to guess just what the numbers might be
But right now, I tell ya, Brother, hell, it hurts when I pee
Marlena, you cheatin' whore!
