Lie

Randy Houser

5

Well I've been swinging through these swinging doors for

goin' on probably about 9 years now maybe even 10

And I watch old Joe at the end of the bar with another hot woman

on his one good arm and they walk out for a while and he comes back in smilin' again

So I finally had to ask old Joe

Man what's your secret to success your power of persuasion over the opposite sex

And he says Son well honestly it's pretty simple

He said I just kinda walk up and buy her a drink and open up my mouth and

Lie I tell her I'm a movie star

I just flew into town to buy this bar

I'm only here tonight that's right

I gotta go yeah we're filming on location down in Mexico

Would you believe that I got the leading role?

That's right honey I beat out a lot of folks that you'd probably know

Oh a man has got to do what a man's gotta do

Anything it takes to make her think you're cool

Ah you got nothing to lose so go on and try

Just walk right up and smile and look her dead in the eye

And lie

That's right lie

So I tried and tried a couple weekends and

it was like strike 1 strike 2 strike out again

But I narrowed it down and I scratched it out and I came up with something

that without a doubt I knew I was gonna make old Joe proud

And I go up and I'd say

Hi Honey whatcha doing for the rest of your life

I've been waiting such a long long time

And you know what honey?

Meetin' you here man it just really feels like fate

Oh I I bet you didn't see me as a marrying type

Let's take it slow I don't just want one night oh no darlin'

If you're looking for that you might as well look somewhere else

Well because I'm just not that kind of guy

And

kids oh I love kids

Dogs in-laws and a piece of land

Dirty diapers in my mini van

Aw man I can hardly wait

Oh a man has got to do what a man's gotta do

Anything it takes to make her think you're cool

Aw you got nothin' to lose so go on and try

Just walk right up and smile and look her dead in the eye

You know what you got to do lie

That's right you gotta lie

Sometimes you gotta lie
