The Good Lie

Winslow/Smith/Carson © 2006

Jenny had a dream to be on the big screen
But she never found her way out of this town
'Cause everybody said she's be wasting her time
There's no future for you girl in that kinda life

Jenny was a pleaser, so she did her time
Four years of college and a BS degree
By 22 there she was back in her hometown
Before she really grew up
She settled down
Now she's

Chorus:
Living in an A-frame house behind her picket fence
Around her garden of the month with her three kids
And her husband
There's no reason why
She shouldn't be completely
Happy
To live that perfect life
It might be right for some
But for Jenny
It's just living
The good lie

Now Jenny's everything and everyone
For everybody else and she plays the part well
There?s soccer games, PTA, church movie nights
She don?t complain,
But there's a sadness in her eyes, while she's

(Chorus)

Jenny's little girl sounds like an angel when she sings
And if Jenny's learned one thing, she's gonna let that little girl dream
While they're.

(Chorus)

It's a good lie
