I LOVED THAT LIE CONTACT INFO

VERSE I WALKED OFF THE SCHOOL BUS WITHOUT MY BRAND NEW BASEBALL CAP
AND MY EYE WAS BLACK AND BLUE
MAMA SAID ?WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU??
I LOOKED AT HER TEARS AND COULDN?T TELL HER THE TRUTH

CHORUS AT SCHOOL I WAS THE FIRST ONE PICKED FOR THEIR TEAM
I HIT A GRAND SLAM, WE WON 4 TO 3
AS I ROAD ON THEIR SHOULDERS I FELT LIKE ONE OF THE GUYS
I LOVED THAT, I LOVED THAT, I LOVED THAT LIE

VERSE DADDY CAME BY TO SEE MY MOM
IN HIS RUSTED OUT BLACK TRAN SAM
SAID HE DIDN?T HAVE THE MONEY AGAIN
THEY?RE FIGHT TURNED INTO A BIG SHOUT FEST
BUT THATS NOT THE WAY SHE TOLD ME HER DAY WENT


CHORUS SHE SAID
YOUR DAD DROVE UP IN A BLACK LIMOUSINE
WE?LL ALL LIVE TOGETHER IN A BIG HOUSE ON THE BEACH
HE HIT THE JACKPOT FOR 20 MIL? NOW WE?RE SET FOR LIFE
SHE LOVED THAT, SHE LOVED THAT, SHE LOVED THAT LIE

BRIDGE
LIKE BEING WRAPPED IN A BLANKET, WE FELT SAFE INSIDE
A GAME WE PLAYED JUST HER AND I
MAKING UP CRAZY STORIES LAUGHING, SO HARD WE?D FORGET TO CRY


VERSE MY WIFE AND I MOVED TO THE CITY
CAUSE I WANNA BE A STAR
PILED ALL WE OWNED IN OUR CAR
I PLAYED MY SONGS UP AND DOWN THE ROW
THEY SAID BOY, YOU SHOULD GO BACK HOME
SHE KNOWS WHAT TO SAY TO KEEP ME GOIN ON

CHORUS SHE SAID
BROOKS AND DUNN AND GEORGE STRAIT WANT TO SING YOUR SONGS
EVERY RECORD LABLE IN TOWN ?S BEEN CALLING YOU ON THE PHONE
AFTER TEN LONG YEARS ALL OF THE SUDDEN YOU?RE A STAR ON THE RISE
I LOVE THAT, I LOVE THAT, I LOVE THAT LIE
