Never Lied to You

A-rollin' into Frisco on a bright, cold day The fog in my mind just won't burn away You say where are you headed, where have you been You can't imagine the trouble I've seen My head is buzzin' like a crosscut saw Tryin' to do what I can this side of the law Well the hounds will drag me beyond your ken I've never lied to you, ha, except just then Time is shorter than it ever was I wanna fight, but I don't have a cause We missed the war, but we still bear the scars Saw a man with no arms playing guitar Don't know what that tells you about your ever-loving God I didn't want to offend him, so I didn't applaud The hounds will drag me beyond your ken I never lied to you, except just then Well the truck is loaded and I'm runnin' strong If you get knocked off your rhythm you're doin' it wrong You could shoot for the moon with that cold, blue pill You said that you won't, but you probably will I'll never find the demon in your maze You're always lookin' your best on your darkest days The hounds will drag me beyond your ken I never lied to you, except just then I'll be lookin' to build when I can find a plot Just can't be satisfied with what I've got I ain't askin' for you to forgive A life lived in fear is a life half lived We both knew you were born to leave me I'll be gone forever if there's no-one to grieve me Well the hounds will drag me beyond your ken I never lied to you, except just then
