Lucky Hodnett - I Would Lie to Tell the Truth Lyrics

(Joel Wade, Jeffrey A. Hodnett, & Ruthie Steele / BMI)

(Verse1) That wasn’t me you saw in her red sports car
That wasn’t me drinking in that local bar
And I know you didn’t see me in that corner booth
And to keep you from knowing
I would lie to tell the truth

Chorus: I would lie just to keep you
From knowing the truth
I would do anything
That a man has to do
Yes, it’s true I love the night life
And I love you too
But I would lie to tell the truth

(Verse2) No that’s not my car, at that cheap motel
The license plate numbers don’t match my old Chevelle
No that’s not the car, we loved in, in our youth
And to keep you from knowing
I would lie to tell the truth

(repeat chorus)

(Verse3) No that’s not my message, you heard on my cell phone
To meet her after work, when she gets home
I swear I don’t know any woman by the name of Ruth
And to keep you from knowing
I would lie to tell the truth

(repeat chorus)
