Lefty Frizzell
Almost Persuaded
[Verse:]
Last night all alone in a Bar Room
Met a girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips, coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man
Then she came and sat down at my table
And as she placed her soft hands in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside
Then we danced and she whispered I need you
Take me a--way from here and be my man
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band
