you can lie all you want to, but inevitably the truth is in the details

Lyrics

Devil's In The Details
(verse 1)
i been drinkin all night
been tearin up the town
got into a few fights
but i will live em down
the hardest fight im into
is the one when i come home
the porch light still is burnin
so i know im not alone
im standin right before her
a bloody boozed up site
im lyin bout a car wreck
but she aint buyin it tonight
(chorus 1)
when will i ever learn
that the truth shall set me free
my lyin and my cryin always fails
devils in the details
(verse 2)
well i head off to work
as the mornin comes around
an hour late as always
hangovers got me down
i sneak in through the backdoor
and punch into the clock
bossmans right behind me
tellim me we got to talk
what is your story this time
and it better be real good
my car just wouldnt start
and i couldnt pop the hood
(chorus 2)
he sez ive used that story
one to many times
hes gotta let em go, checks in the mail
devils in the details
(verse 3)
truth seems overrated
but let me tell you son
once you get to lyin
your troubles just begun
ive cried wolf so many times
pinnochio thats me
i spin tales like wagon wheels
i chopped the cherry tree
(chorus 3)
everytime i lie
im as transparent as can be
my cryin and my lyin always fails
devils in the details
