(Dolly Parton)
|
Spotlight's on, it's shining bright
|
And I like standin' in it
|
It's only superficial light
|
But I don't want to end it
|
It's warmth and glow has taken hold
|
And I'm caught up in it's shine
|
A Cinderella fairy tale
|
I want to claim as mine
|
Fancy clothes, a magic coach
|
And happy ever after
|
Like something from a story book
|
The Cinderella chapter
|
But when the clock strikes midnight
|
And I lie awake in bed
|
Things my Daddy told me
|
Keep running through my head
|
|
You gotta walk the straight and narrow
|
And to thine own self be true
|
Gotta aim straight as an arrow
|
All eyes are up on you
|
But sometimes it feels so good
|
That I can almost justify
|
Livin' a lie - livin' a lie
|
Livin' a lie - livin' a lie
|
|
Is it wrong for me to want
|
The sweeter grass that's greener?
|
To chase the all-American dream
|
I've always been a dreamer
|
At the top and still I've got
|
A heavy heart inside
|
I keep remembering
|
Things my Daddy told me as a child
|
|
You gotta walk the striaght and narrow
|
Gotta hold fast to the right
|
Gotta aim straight as an arrow
|
Walk onward toward the light
|
Oh, but when I'm out there in it
|
I think I might get by
|
Livin' a lie - livin' a lie
|
But I don't feel right livin' a lie
|
Livin' a lie - livin' a lie
|
|
All the fame and fortune
|
Glory and prestige
|
Can't make me happy if it goes
|
Against what I believe
|
And I've sacrificed my honor
|
My values and my pride
|
Livin' a lie - livin' a lie
|
Livin' a lie - livin' a lie
|
Livin' a lie - livin' a lie
|
Livin' a lie
|
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, I don't feel right
|
