Mark Heard Another Good Lie
[Verse 1]
Darling when I was your age I could do anything
There were days of rock 'n roll and lunar strolls and friendship rings
And baby I told myself I'd follow my deepest dreams
Knowing if I did my best success would always follow me
[Chorus]
It was another good lie
Coming down like a freezing rain from a hot blue sky
Another good lie
Coming in like a crosstown hurricane on fire
Another good lie
Coming down on your Daddy's soul 'til it made him old
Another good lie, another good lie, another good lie
[Verse 2]
Darling they all told me that they would do anything
Climb the highest mountain, swim the ocean, do the damnedest things
And baby then they took my heart and vanished into memory
Leaving it to time and circumstance to come deliver me
[Chorus]
It was another good lie
Coming down like a freezing rain from a hot blue sky
Another good lie
Coming in like a crosstown hurricane on fire
Another good lie
Coming down on your Daddy's soul 'til it made him old
Another good lie, another good lie, another good lie
[Bridge]
Now baby I'm just one man and my world fell apart long ago
I guess I'm still in shock
It shouldn't have been like that
I guess I still hope for deliverance
[Verse 3]
Darling when I was your age I could do anything
I could be a restless heart, a social force, or just genuine
And baby don't our dreams die hard in the ashes of destiny
I wish that I could lay to rest the bitterness that keeps telling me
[Chorus]
About another good lie
Coming down like a freezing rain from a hot blue sky
Another good lie
Coming in like a crosstown hurricane on fire
Another good lie
Coming down on your Daddy's soul 'til it made him old
Another good lie, another good lie, another good lie
Another good lie, another good lie, another good lie
Oh it was another good lie (it was another good lie) yeah
It was another good lie
It was another good lie
It was another good lie
It was another good lie
It was another good lie, yeah
It was another good lie
