Three Chords And A Lie

(专辑： Stack Of Records - 2021)

Well, I talked to my brother just the other day
Said he saw her with some guy out on the interstate
In a Chevrolet
And he ain't the kind to go and make some story up
So it must've been a girl that looked just like she does
In that truck

She said she's in Mexico with a few of her girlfriends
And then they headed up to Dallas for a long weekend
The last time that I talked to her said she just needed time
So tonight, I'm getting by, with three chords and a lie

A couple buddies said they saw her hanging on someone's arm
Next town over, they weren't sober
And it's always dark in that smoky bar
I'd sure like to meet this girl that looks like mine
But until I do, all the rest of you
Can let the rumors fly, yeah, I'll be fine

She said she's in Mexico with a few of her girlfriends
And then they headed up to Dallas for a long weekend
The last time that I talked to her said she just needed time
So tonight, I'm getting by, with three chords and a lie
With three chords and a lie

Picking up this old six-string
Playing it straight from the heart
And if everybody knows the truth but me
I still wanna believe that

She's just in Mexico with a few of her girlfriends
And then they headed up to Dallas for a long weekend
The last time that I talked to her said she just needed time
So tonight, I'm getting by, with three chords and a lie
Three chords and a lie, mmh
