I came in here tonightTo do a little thinkingWhen I left home, I promised her twiceI ain't going drinkingThen you walk inAnd knock me downWe could slip away, but in a few daysIt'll be all over townBut my country conscience will tell on meThe roots of my raising-run too deepSometimes temptation can make a strong man weakBut my country conscience won't let me cheatI started to leaveThen I hesitatedI looked in her eyesAnd I was almost persuadedThen she took my handBut when she touched my ringA voice in my head, spoke up and said"Son, you're doing the wrong thing"But my country conscience will tell on meThe roots of my raising-run too deepSometimes temptation can make a strong man weekBut my country conscience won't let me cheatMy country conscience won't let me cheat From Letras Mania
