A Real Good Place to Start
Just listening to a playlist of old country music one day, and yet another song comes on with the theme "I'm sorry I cheated. It won't happen again. I love you!" It just drove me crazy. Where are the songs asking people not to cheat? So, I figured I'd write one. This is about not making that mistake and respecting the one you're with. Is that not a real good place to start?

I hear about the longing and leaving
Loving and losing
He's very sorry, and her heart is bruised, well
The same old story, just different hearts that break
And now they're all cryin' and pleadin'
On their knees for forgiveness
Never do it again, as God as their witness
A lesson to all to learn from their great mistakes
(Chorus)
If you don't wanna lose 'em, don't run around
Lord, it ain't very hard
Love on the one you lay down with
And stay out of them bars
'Cause they're gonna leave, and you're gonna drink
Write sad songs about your broken heart
So if you wanna keep 'em, then don't cheat
That's a real good place to start
When they say, "It meant nothing to me, babe
Only a one-time fling"
Then they suddenly care about that wedding ring
Like a string you tie, it's there for you to remember
Stop and think, hey, do you wanna hurt them
Imagine if it were you
And you stood there breaking as you heard the news
A heart that trusts your love is a heart that's tender
(Chorus)
