Karaoké Three Chords and a Lie Larry Fleet

Well, I talked to my brother just the other day

Said he saw her with some guy out on the interstate in a Chevrolet

Now, he ain't the kind to go and make some story up

So, it must've been a girl that looked just like she does in that truck

She said she's in Mexico with a few of her girlfriends

And then they headed up to Dallas for a long weekend

The last time that I talked to her said she just needed time

So tonight

I'm gettin' by with three chords and a lie

Couple buddies said they saw her hangin' on someone's arm

Next town over they weren't sober

And it's always dark in that smoky bar

I'd sure like to meet this girl that looks like mine

Until I do all the rest of you can let the rumors fly yeah, I'll be fine

She said she's in Mexico with a few of her girlfriends

Then they headed up to Dallas for a long weekend

The last time that I talked to her said she just needed time

So tonight

I'm gettin' by with three chords and a lie

Three chords and a lie

Pickin' up this old six-string

Playin' it straight from the heart

And if everybody knows the truth but me

I still wanna believe that she's just down in Mexico with a few of her girlfriends

Then they headed up to Dallas for a long weekend

The last time that I talked to her said she just needed time

So tonight

I'm gettin' by with three chords and a lie

Three chords and a lie

Mmh mmh mmh
