a thousand lies ago

Singer:merle haggard

we had so many really good times

and i spent 'em all like nickels and dimes

but that was all a thousand lies ago

i used to be your really best friend

you used to tremble at the touch of my skin

ah

but that was all a thousand lies ago

hey

i lied to you so many times

you won't believe a thing

but true love still lies between the lines

each time you hear me sing

what i didn't know i'll never know why

we had a good thing goin' in days gone by

ah

but that was all a thousand lies ago

well

i lied to you so many times

that you can't believe a thing

but true love still lies between the lines

each time you hear me sing

i had so many really good times

i spent 'em all like nickels and dimes

ah

but that was all a thousand lies ago
