Song Description

A traditional country song about a man who has feelings of guilt about mistakes made the night before and blames his conscience

Lyrics

I can't believe you let me let her down
You could have changed my mind
If you'd only been around
Why'd you wait till it's too late
You knew it wasn't right
Oh, conscience where were you last night?

We're supposed to stick together
You're supposed to draw the line
You could have give me second thoughts
But you never crossed my mind
Now I've got this guilty feeling
That's eating me alive
Oh Conscience where were you last night?

If I only had it all to do again
I wouldn't have to worry
If she questioned where I'd been
I wouldn't make the same mistake
This time I'd get it right
Oh conscience where were you last night?

Repeat chorus

Oh, conscience where were you last night?
