He drives to Charlotte, every third Monday, 
                      A          D
And checks into the Twelve Oaks Motel.

He calls it business, and he calls the number 
               A             D
Of a woman he knows all too well.

Every third Monday when his wife packs his suitcase, 
A                             D
He looks her straight in the eye.

Every third Monday he finds a new way

To a stranger in a back booth, she whispers I'd love to.
                      Bb           D# 
Two can play at this old cheatin' game.
