Randy Houser - Lie lyrics

rate me

Well, I've been swinging through these swinging doors for<br />

Goin' on probably about 9 years now, maybe even 10<br />

And I watch old Joe at the end of the bar<br />

With another hot woman on his one good arm<br />

And they walk out for a while and he comes back in smilin' again<br />

<br />

So I finally had to ask old Joe, "Man, what's your secret to success<br />

Your power of persuasion over the opposite sex"<br />

And he says, "Son, well honestly, it's pretty simple"<br />

He said, "I just kinda walk up and buy her a drink<br />

And open up my mouth and"<br />

<br />

Lie<br />

I tell her I'm a movie star<br />

I just flew into town to buy this bar<br />

I'm only here tonight, that's right<br />

<br />

I gotta go, yeah<br />

We're filming on location down in Mexico<br />

Would you believe that I got the leading role?<br />

That's right, honey, I beat out a lot of folks that you'd probably know<br />

<br />

Oh, a man has got to do what a man's gotta do<br />

Anything it takes to make her think you're cool<br />

Ah, you got nothing to lose, so go on and try<br />

<br />

Just walk right up and smile<br />

And look her dead in the eye and lie<br />

That's right, lie<br />

<br />

So I tried and tried a couple weekends<br />

And it was like strike 1, strike 2, strike out again<br />

But I narrowed it down and I scratched it out<br />

And I came up with something that without a doubt I knew<br />

<br />

I was gonna make old Joe proud<br />

And I go up and I'd say<br />

<br />

Hi, honey, whatcha doing for the rest of your life?<br />

I've been waiting such a long, long time<br />

And you know what, honey?<br />

Meetin' you here, man, it just really feels like fate<br />

<br />

Oh, I, I bet you didn't see me as a marrying type<br />

Let's take it slow, I don't just want one night, oh no, darlin'<br />

If you're looking for that you might as well look somewhere else<br />

Well, because I'm just not that kind of guy<br />

<br />

And kids, oh, I love kids<br />

Dogs, in laws and a piece of land<br />

Dirty diapers in my mini van<br />

Aw man, I can hardly wait<br />

<br />

Oh, a man has got to do what a man's gotta do<br />

Anything it takes to make her think you're cool<br />

Aw, you got nothin' to lose so go on and try<br />

<br />

Just walk right up, and smile, and look her dead in the eye<br />

You know what you got to do, lie<br />

That's right, you gotta lie, sometimes you gotta lie<br /><br />
