I Lied to You

Somethin' I been wanting to tell you for a long time

It might hurt you, hope you don’t lose your mind

Well, I was just a boy, 'bout eight years old

You threw me a Bible on that Mississippi road

See, I love ya, papa, you did all you could do

They say the truth hurts, so I lie to you

Yes, I lied to you, I love the blues

Mm-hm-mm

Oh-oh-oh, mm-hm-mm (hey!)

Somebody take me in your arms tonight, well, alright

Somebody take me in your arms tonight, ay, yeah

Somebody take me in your arms tonight

Mm-hm-mm

Oh-oh-oh, mm-hm-mm

Somebody take me in your arms tonight (hey), alright

Somebody take me in your arms tonight, oh (hey)

Somebody take me (hey)

No shit

Country boy

Same war

I hope, I hope, I hope

I hope you can stand it, stand it all (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)

What I'm out here doing (hey, hey, hey, hey)

You didn’t preach at all (hey, hey, hey, hey)

See, I'm full of the blues (hey, hey, hey, hey)

Holy water too (hey, hey, hey, hey)

I know the truth hurts, so I lie to you (hey)

So preach on, speak your words

I know the truth hurts, yes, I lied to you
