(Lester Flatt)

I just found out today the little game you play
While I been sleepin' all my life away
You been steppin' so they say between midnight and day
So I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on.

Chorus:
From now on, all night long
You won't have a chance to treat your momma wrong
You been steppin' so they say between midnight and day
So I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on.

--- Instrumental ---

There's a honky-tonk down the road just about a mile or so
And I understand that's where you spend your time
Baby, I got news for you, your little game is through
Yeah, from now on, baby, you better tow the line.

Chorus:
From now on, all night long
You won't have a chance to treat your momma wrong
You been steppin' so they say between midnight and day
So I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on.

--- Instrumental ---

You thought you were bein' smart breaking my little heart
And leavin' me to spend my time alone
Well, you'll find out today it just don't work that way
You've started a little game that two can play.

From now on, all night long
You won't have a chance to treat your momma wrong
You been steppin' so they say between midnight and day
But you better sleep with one eye open from now on.

Yeah, an' I'm gonna sleep with eye open from now on...
