Would I Lie - Amy Speace

This year my father’s heroes have all passed

Reagan, Waylon, June and Johnny Cash

I have felt the earth deep in my bones

Are these growing pains or shifting stones?

Cars are standing still on 95

Waiting for the tunnel in straight lines

Past my hands, resting on the wheel

The skyline’s still an open wheel of steel

Would I lie

Would I lie

Would I lie

Just to get by

I’m angrier than I have ever been

We’re all throwing punches to the wind

Where’s the truth when everything is polled

They’d sell Jesus fore his blood ran cold

Boys with guns and girls in mud stained skirts

This is how you paint the perfect world

Gasoline and gold pulled from the ground

Remember that when traffic slows you down

We all lie

We all lie

We all lie

Just to get by
