Introduction
When it comes to country music, honesty and raw emotion often steal the show. Cheater, Cheater by Joey + Rory is no exception—this track delivers a fiery punch with its sassy lyrics, playful energy, and unabashed storytelling. Released as part of their debut album The Life of a Song in 2008, this tune quickly became a standout for its unapologetic tone and infectious energy.
The song tells the story of a scorned lover confronting the cheating partner—and they’re not holding back. With biting lyrics like, “Cheater, cheater, where’d you meet her? Down at Ernie’s Bar?” Joey Feek’s spirited delivery perfectly captures the mix of anger, betrayal, and sarcasm that makes the song so memorable. It’s a cathartic anthem for anyone who’s been wronged in love, offering not just a voice but also a sense of camaraderie.
What makes Cheater, Cheater even more special is the undeniable chemistry between Joey and Rory. As a married couple and musical duo, their playful dynamic shines through. Rory’s harmonies and understated guitar work create the perfect backdrop for Joey’s powerful vocals, making the song feel both authentic and entertaining. You can sense they’re having fun with this one, even while tackling a tough subject.
One of the reasons this song resonates is its relatability. Most people can recall a moment of heartbreak or betrayal, and this track gives listeners permission to laugh through the pain and maybe even shout a little. It’s a reminder that music can heal, even in the messiest of situations.
In true Joey + Rory fashion, Cheater, Cheater blends humor, heart, and a touch of old-school country charm. It’s a toe-tapper that leaves a lasting impression, whether you’re singing along in the car or dancing in the kitchen. Beyond its catchy tune, the song highlights the duo’s ability to turn everyday struggles into music that feels personal yet universal.
Sadly, Joey Feek’s passing in 2016 adds a layer of poignancy to revisiting their music. But songs like Cheater, Cheater keep her legacy alive, celebrating the wit, talent, and spirit she brought to every performance.
If you haven’t heard this track yet, grab your headphones and prepare for a spirited ride. And if you have, it’s worth another listen—because sometimes, a little sass is the perfect remedy for a heavy heart.

Lyrics
Cheater, cheater where’d you meet her
Down at Ernie’s Bar?
Did she smile your way, twirl her hair and say how cute your dimples are?
Did she use that line “Your place or mine?” while you danced with her real slow?
Tell me cheater, cheater where’d you meet that no good, white trash ho?
Liar, liar did you buy her whiskey all night long?
Did you hide your ring in the pocket of your jeans or did you just keep it on?
When the deed was done and you had your fun did you think I wouldn’t know?
Tell me cheater, cheater where’d you meet that no good, white trash ho?
Now I’m not one to judge someone that I ain’t never met
But to lay your hands on a married man is bout as low as a gal can get
Hey I wish her well as she rots in hell and you can tell her I said so
Cheater, cheater where’d you meet that no good, white trash ho?
Loser, loser hope you love her cuz your stuck with her now
Take your sorry butt, load up all your stuff, and get the hell out of my house
But I just wish you’d tell me this one thing before you go
Cheater, cheater where’d you meet that no good, white trash ho?
Now I’m not one to judge someone that I ain’t never met
But to lay your hands on a married man is bout as low as a gal can get
Hey I wish her well as she rots in hell and you can tell her I said so
Cheater, cheater where’d you meet that no good, white trash ho?
Yeah I just wish you’d tell me this one thing before you go
Cheater, cheater where’d you meet that low down, up town,
slept with every guy around, pressed on eyelash, no good, white trash ho?
