I'm Gonna Sleep with One Eye Open - Flatt, Scruggs

Well I just found out today

The little game you play

I been a-sleeping all my life away

You been a-stepping, so they say

Between midnight and day

I’m a-gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

From now on (From now on)

All night long (All night long)

You won’t have a chance to treat your daddy wrong

You been stepping, so they say

Between midnight and day

I’m a-gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

There’s a honky-tonk down the road

It’s just about a mile or so

I understand that’s where you spend your time

Baby, I got news for you

Your little game is through

From now on, baby, you’re gonna toe the line

From now on (From now on)

All night long (All night long)

You won’t have a chance to treat your daddy wrong

You been a-stepping, so they say

Between midnight and day

I’m a-gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

You thought you were being wise

Runnin' 'round with other guys

And leaving me to spend my time alone

But you’ll find out today

It don’t work out that way

You’ve started a little game that two can play

From now on (From now on)

All night long (All night long)

You won’t have a chance to treat your daddy wrong

You been stepping, so they say

Between midnight and day

I’m a-gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
