Sweetheart, you're killin me*
Don't you know the truth will set you free
But right now, I gotta leave
Cause all your lies are killing me
Well it's cold and lonely when the sun goes down
Chasing a one trick pony round this one horse town
I ride my saddle blind so I won't see
Well I caught on quick before she knew I would
With all the discount talking round this neighborhood
I hope my rowdy friends won't tell on me
Sweetheart, you're killin me
Don't you know the truth will set you free?
But right now, I gotta leave
Cause all your lies are killing me
Just who wrote this fairy tale
The same devils that danced to our wedding knell
And left us both with a grim farewell
To Heaven, our love and Tennessee Sweetheart you're killin me
When you're standing lonely on that judgment day
Will the truth be something that you still can't say
I beg you darling on my skinned up knee
There's a hangman coming with a pretty noose
And only one sure thing will ever cut you loose
I'll carve my heart in the side of the gallows tree
Sweetheart, you're killin me
Don't you know the truth will set you free
But right now, I gotta leave
Cause all your lies are killing me
