Country Conscience - Doug Supernaw

I came in here tonight

To do a little thinking

When I left home-I promised her twice

«I ain’t going drinking»

Then you walk in and knock me down

We could slip away, but in a few days

It’ll be all over town ('cause)

But my country conscience will tell on me

The roots of my raising-run too deep

Sometimes temptation can make a strong man week

But my country conscience won’t let her cheat

I started to leave

Then I hesitated

I looked in her eyes

And I was «almost persuaded»

Then she took my hand-but when she touched my ring

A voice in my head, spoke up and said

«Son you’re doing the wrong thing»

My country conscience won’t let me cheat
