Lyrics
Things That Never Lie
(by Daryl Stevenett)
(Verse 1)
Well my best friend said he caught a great big fish,
Big as a boat — Ya, ya he could only wish,
Said it felt like he was fighting a submarine,
The biggest old grouper he had ever seen.
Then I saw the picture when I grabbed his phone,
a tiny little sea trout, all skin and bone,
(Chorus)
Folks will lie about their age,
Their job, their truck, and what their paid ,
The fish they caught, the steps they walked
The truth is gone when they start to talk.
But truth don’t hide, it finds a way,
It slips out sure as the light of day,
You can bluff and boast and wave your hands —
there are only three things that never lie and never can…
Little kids, old drunks, .........and yoga pants.
(Verse 2)
Old Fred he said he quit drinking beer,
Been “stone-cold sober” since late last year,
for the fifth time Friday night he raised his glass,
then fell asleep outside on the grass.
He said, “a few little drinks don’t count, my friend,”
But we all know how that story ends.
(Chorus)
Folks will lie right to your face
it's in their DNA and in the human race
They'll tell ya they’re rich, educated & smart,
But their truth still smells like an old mans fart
You can dodge and dance and make your stand,
But truth shows up, it don’t need no plans,
You can fake it cause you think you can —
Three things that try to lie but they never can…
Little kids, old drunks, ..........and yoga pants.
(Bridge)
Little Kids will tell you when you’re doing wrong,
and old Drunks will tell you stories all night long
Yoga pants might stretch a little here and there
but when it comes to the truth it's the truth they bare...don't stare
(Final Chorus)
Folks will lie to save their pride,
But truth’s too hard to keep inside,
You can’t hide long behind your stance,
It’ll find its way, won’t miss its chance.
Life’s too short for coverin’ tracks,
It always comes a-callin’ back,
Just remember when the tall tales land —
Three things that try to lie but never can…
Little kids, old drunks, .............and yoga pants.
say hello to Walmart.... ........and yoga pants
they'll never lie to you... ......those yoga pants
Daddy.... mommy has a boy friend
