John Conlee Black Label, White Lies
I brag saying I had a woman that loved me too much to get mad
When I stayed out in these neon lights too long
Aw, but late last night I was late again
She was moved out when I walked in
And I realized the fool I've been
Now all I gotta do is fool my friends with
Black label and white lies
Sittin' around a table, telling the guys
How it broke her heart to set her free
Order up another round, tell them how her tears came down
And try to save some foolish pride with
Black label and white lies
Well I've sat right here too many nights
Sayin' that woman was wrapped too tight to come undone
Unless I cut the string
So I'm buyin' drinks with this months rent
Tryin' to look like I'm glad she went
Now I got no woman, I've got no sense
But I got everybody here convinced with
Black label and white lies
Sittin' around a table, telling the guys
How it broke her heart to set her free
Order up another round, tell them how her tears came down
And try to save some foolish pride with
Black label and white lies
Mabel, bring us another round
Knowing I never would live this down
So I cover up this blues inside with
Black label and white lies
Black label and white lies
