John Michael Montgomery - Drink, Swear, Steal & Lie lyrics

rate me

I was twelve when daddy said to me

Don't take to drinkin boy that road don't lead nowhere

And don't you ever let me hear you swear

Don't you dare

He told me stealing is a lazy man's way

Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay

So don't lie, then you can look the whole world in the eye

Honey I've tried

But since I've met you girl I'm breakin every rule

I must confess I'm just a backsliding fool

CHORUS:

I want to drink from your loving cup

Swear I'll never give you up

Steal all your kisses underneath the moon

I want to lie here close to you

Look what you make me do

Darlin you're the reason why

I drink, swear, steal and lie

Last night I threw away your twelve step book

I finally faced the fact that I am hooked on you

There's nothing more that I can do

Ain't no use

Cause every time I see your angel face

My anger disappears without a trace

I swear, girl I admit I haven't got a prayer

But I don't care

Well I know this ain't exactly how I was raised

But heaven help me honey, I ain't changing my ways

REPEAT CHORUS (2 x's)

Drink, swear, steal, lie
