Lies I Told Myself

Guys like you don't ever finish high school

You probably oughta quit and get a job

You're gonna wind up a drunk just like your uncle

I know you think you're different, but you're not

You're too small to catch a football

You're a fool to follow your heart

Crazy for even thinking you've got a chance with that guitar

And who they said you were

Is who you'll always be

Some lies I told myself

I'm glad I didn't believe

Money's the only thing that makes you happy

And what you're looking for ain't in that church

A love like that only happens in the movies

A boy like you can't get a girl like her

You're too small to catch a football

You're a fool to follow your heart

Crazy for even thinking you've got a chance with that guitar

And no the truth doesn't always set you free

Some lies I told myself

I'm glad I didn't believe

Yeah praying's just a waste of time

So why even start

The good Lord ain't got time for guys like me

Forgiven is something you won't ever be

Some lies I told myself

I'm glad I didn't believe

Oh some lies I told myself

I'm glad I didn't believe
