"Laying Here Lying In Bed" lyrics

Laying Here Lying In Bed

Yes, my wedding band is just too loose to hold me
Cause it slips off my finger now and then
Especially when I'm laying here
With Anna in my arms
Lord I find it's getting harder to pretend

Cause Anna she don't know how much I'm married
If she did I sure she'd want to die
But what she doesn't know I guess won't hurt her any more
So I lay right here and tell her one more lie tonight

Laying here lying in bed
I know what she wants to hear
So that's what will be said
The truth would only hurt her
So I'll tell a lie instead
Laying here lying in bed

When I get home
I'll kiss the tie that binds me
Cause he's the apple of his daddy's eye
If his mama wakes and asks me
Where I've been and if I love her
Lord I'll have to tell another lie
Again tonight

Laying here lying in bed
I know what they ought to hear
So that's what will be said
The truth would only hurt them
So I'll tell a lie instead
Laying there lying in bed
I'll be laying there lying in bed
