Sad Country Song - The Lyrics

The following is my take on a 'country song' written when I was living in Alabama, as a dare to some diehard fans...

SAD COUNTRY SONG
By John Cox

We met on a night that shone bright as day
In a room full of loud party fun.
I glanced across and when I saw your face
We smiled together as one.
I know I shouldn’t think this way
‘Cos a married woman has got no say.
But it’s sad and lonely sometimes at night
And I wanna come into the light.

Chorus:
    How can it be wrong, if it feels so right
    As we lay there side by side?
    How can you be sure that we’re living a lie
    If we’ve both got something to hide?

I smile at you as you pass me by
I tremble as you pass me so near.
I rise and I follow you to the bar
And then I order a bottle of beer.
It’s crazy when you feel this way
I’m a married woman and I’ve got no say.
I wanna have fun most every night
I’m gonna come into the light.

You smile and you speak a quiet hello
I miss a beat of my heart.
We take a few steps, close right up
Until we aren’t far apart.
I tell you I’m crazy, I feel this way
I’m a married woman, what will you say?
I wanna have fun, especially tonight
Will you come close and hold me so tight?

Chorus:
    How can it be wrong, if it feels so right
    As we lay there side by side?
    How can you be sure that we’re living a lie
    If we’ve both got something to hide?

You tell me you’re married, I drop my face low
You tenderly lift it back high.
You hold me real close, our lips touch just once
I let out a real muted sigh.
We know we’re crazy to just feel this way
We’re both married people, what can we say?
We wanna have fun, especially tonight
We gotta be close, get out of this light.

We spend a night together, for fun
I don’t want you to be gone.
The morning comes, you say goodbye
But thoughts still linger on.
We were both crazy to act this way
Both married people with no need to play.
We wanted some fun, but it’s ended up more
We got to be close, my heart’s very sore.

Chorus:
    How can it be wrong, if it feels so right
    As we lay there side by side?
    How can you be sure that we’re living a lie
    If we’ve both got something to hide?

I can’t face the music, I don’t wanna go home
I lie on the bed in my dress.
I look all around me, the things on the wall
Inside my head it’s a mess.
I know I shouldn’t have thought this way
‘Cos a married woman has got no say.
But its’ sad and lonely sometimes at night
And I wanted to be in the light.

Chorus:
    How can it be wrong, if it feels so right
    As we lay there side by side?
    How can you be sure that we’re living a lie
    If we’ve both got something to hide?
    Yes, it’s sad and lonely sometimes at night
    And I wanted to be in the light.
