I just found out today

The little game you play

While i been sleepin' all my life away

You been steppin' so they say

Between midnight and day

So i'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

Chorus:



From now on, all night long

You won't have a chance

To treat your momma wrong

You been steppin' so they say

Between midnight and day

So i'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on



There's a honky-tonk down the road

Just about a mile or so

And i understand that's where you spend your time

Baby, i got news for you

Your little game is through







Yeah, from now on baby

You better tow the line



Repeat chorus



You thought you were bein' smart

Breaking my little heart

And leavin' me to spend my time alone

Well you'll find out today

It just don't work that way

You've started a little game that two can play



From now on, all night long

You won't have a chance

To treat your momma wrong

You been steppin' so they say

Between midnight and day

But you better sleep with one eye open from now on

Yeah an' i'm gonna sleep with eye open from now on
