(Carl Jackson - Vince Gill)

Oh, the taste of wine and liquor
And a woman's tender kiss
Sure paints the perfect picture
That's so hard to resist.

Though the lure of that old night
Life has always tempted fools
It can't compare
With what you stand to lose.

Remember the promise
You wear on your left hand
Cheatin's no companion
For a real lady's man.

--- Instrumental ---

If only I had listened
To my own words of advice
And turned down the invitation
In another woman's eyes.

For the softness of a stranger
I threw good love away
Friend there ain't
No higher price to pay.

Remember the promise
You wear on your left hand
Cheatin's no companion
For a real lady's man.

Remember the promise
You wear on your left hand
Cheatin's no companion
For a real lady's man...
