Disappear from your home town
|
Go and find the people that you know
|
Show them all your good parts
|
And leave when the bad ones start to show
|
|
Go and wed a woman
|
A pretty girl that you never met
|
Make sure she knows you love her well
|
But don't make any other promises
|
|
The weight of lies will bring you down
|
And follow you to every town 'cause
|
Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
|
When you run make sure you run
|
To something and not away from 'cause
|
Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere
|
|
I once heard the worse thing a man can do is draw a hungry crowd
|
Tell everyone his name in pride and confidence
|
But leaving out his doubts
|
I'm not sure I bought those words
|
When I was young I knew most everything
|
These words have never meant as much to anyone
|
As they now mean to me
|
|
The weight of lies will bring you down
|
And follow you to every town 'cause
|
Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
|
When you run make sure you run
|
To something and not away from 'cause
|
Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you down
|
|
The weight of lies will bring you down
|
And follow you to every town'cause
|
Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
|
So when you run make sure you run
|
To something and not away from 'cause
|
Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere
|
|
The weight of lies will bring you down
|
And follow you to every town 'cause
|
Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
|
So when you run make sure you run
|
To something and not away from 'cause
|
Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you down
