Billy Ray Cyrus - Truth Is I Lied lyrics

Lashed my soul 'cross this twin-v horse and rode off in the night

Guess you noticed I'm gone and the low morning sun's

Cast some shadows with questions inside

So the truth in this letter at dawn will send a new light.

Chorus:

Truth is I lied when I said I'd always be your whippin' pet

I lied when said "I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess"

When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive (I lied)

Truth is last night when you tore my heart apart my mind began

Never thinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again

And a freedom that filled me kept spelling out truth as I'd write

Truth is I lied

Saw an image of you where the highway touched the sky

It was blockin' my view so I steered that thought aside

Now the morning and me ride a cold memory past tomorrow to some

other town

Where we'll never care whether this truth was lost or found

Repeat chorus twice

Truth is I lied
