i'll say it's true

i've never been in prison

i don't know much about trains

my favorite singer cooks my breakfast

i like her fancy and i like her plain

i love bright and flashing colors

like hot pink and dresden blue

but if they ask me if it's true

that i still love you

i'll say it's true

i'd happy in a mansion

or in an old rundown shotgun shack

i like the feel of silk and satin

so i don't know why i wear black

i love new york city

bet your cowgirl boots i do

but if they ask me if it's true

that i still love you

i'll say it's true

i'll say it's true

so don't let it bother you

just let them old tales all stay twisted

i will set 'em straight about you

i have not been in the army

i'm an indian from years ago

when they ask if i know waylon

i tell them

i think so

i do not plan on retiring

from anything i do

but if they ask me if it's true

that i still love you

i'll say it's true

i'll say it's true

so don't let it bother you

just let them old tales all stay twisted

i will set 'em straight on you

i got plans to keep right on singin'

and i do know emmylou

but if they ask me if it's true

that i still love you

i'll say it's true
