Sinner's Waltz

words and music by John Eddie

Well, I wonder what this hotel bible thinks
Is it frowning on our one too many drinks
Are the gideon's outside, watching us undress
Does the devil hand out room keys at the registration desk

You say you married young but you're not sure to whom
You got a five year old mistake starting school real soon
And you don't do this sorta thing that much but what the hell
You may not do it often but you do it awful well

Well step one, step two, dance the sinner's waltz
Step three, step four, honey, I'll take the lead
Well, close your eye's sweet sugar
Make believe it ain't your fault
Cuz the sinner's waltz is bound to make you grieve

Well, I've got secrets but I keep my mouth shut
Cuz I can't contain the storm that they rile up
And I might haul off and hit you, while you're fast asleep
Cuz you're looking like a secret, the one named sue I couldn't keep

Well step one, step two, dance the sinner's waltz
Step three, step four, honey, I'll take the lead
Well, close your eye's sweet sugar
Make believe it ain't your fault
The sinner's waltz is bound to make you grieve
