lyrics

Like An Old Time Country Song

You are right and I am wrong
Like in an old time country song
You’ve got your truth and I’ve got mine
Like strangers walking, crossing lines
I know what you’re holding back
Behind your teeth

Don’t put me on trial
Lawyers can’t justify it
All we can do is simplify it

I’ve come around to all your neighborhoods
I got lost like a lamb in the woods
I found out that who I am
and who I want me to be are not the same man
If you’re handing me a ticket for a guilt trip
Make it a one-way

Don’t put me on trial
lawyers can’t justify it
All we can do is simplify it

Put a record on and turn up the gramophone
“Let me spin you around” the country singer moans
Let’s not see how the story ends but how it goes
Like in a black and white motion picture show

Don’t put me on trial
lawyers can’t justify it
All we can do is simplify it
Like in an old time country song
And a black and white motion picture show
