I found her number, in lipstick
On a folded up paper from the holiday inn
Made me sit back and wonder
Were you really on business last weekend

So I left your bags packed on the front porch
Put the keys on the seat of your ford
Changed the locks on all the doors

If I were you, I’d be on my knees
Just a pleadin’ and a beggin’ for mercy
I’d look to the heavens and pray
I’d appreciate the woman inside
That house I built in ‘99
Swear to change my ways
Yeah, I’d come clean on the truth
If I were you

You swore you were done with the bottle
That almost ended us four years ago
Then I found your stash
Of Bud and Jose Cuervo

So I went and bought you a keg
Laid it on my side of the bed
“Good-bye” was all I said

If I were you, I’d be on my knees
Just a pleadin’ and a beggin’ for mercy
I’d look to the heavens and pray
I’d appreciate the woman standin’ outside
That house I built in ‘99
Swear to change my ways
Yeah, I’d come clean on the truth
If I were you

I’m tired of your empty promises
Tires of all the lies
And I don’t know if you’ll get
A second chance this time


If I were you, I’d be on my knees
Just a pleadin’ and a beggin’ for mercy
I’d look to the heavens and pray
I’d appreciate the woman inside
That house I built in ‘99
Swear to change my ways
Yeah, I’d come clean on the truth
If I were you

Yeah, I’d appreciate the woman inside
That house I built in ‘99
I’d come clean on the truth
If I were you
