How They Lie

(앨범: Culberson County - 2018)

Sister's in the back seat crying to her daddy
"When we gonna move back home?"
He said "It's not our house now, Daddy made a few mistakes
Now they've taken everything we own
Sign the wrong dotted line and stack of papers
And everything is gone

"There's oil on your place, we'll give you what it's worth
"$1.10 a barrel sound good?"
Ninety-years-old, only one still alive
Money over doing what's right
Sign the dotted line, would you please, Mr. Baker
And everything is yours

How they lie
How they lie
How they lie
And bend the truth
So just try
So just try
To get along one day
And hope they don't bury you

Said they want to build a highway
Top dollar for your piece of land
Give you the best price for all of your work
Selling wasn't part of the plan
You can stay until they break ground
This ain't your home

How they lie
How they lie
How they lie
And bend the truth
So just try
So just try
To get along one day
And hope they don't bury you

How they lie
How they lie
How they lie
And bend the truth
So just try
So just try
To get along one day
Hope they don't bury you

So just get along one day
Hope they don't bury you
We'll just get along one day
And hope they don't bury you
