The Roadshow

Love's Lie

Verse 1
I know what I done was wrong
Started with a country lovin' song
She tried so hard to make me stay
But all I wanted was to play

Chorus
I'm goin' through west Texas on the run.
I sang my song, and now I'm done.
I've got to make the Rio Grande,
Lay up in Mexico's my plan.

Verse 2
She gave me all she had to give
She thought my life was hers to live
She knew that I would be her man
And I fit well in her life's plan

Chorus
I'm goin' through west Texas on the run.
I sang my song, and now I'm done.
I've got to make the Rio Grande,
Lay up in Mexico's my plan.

Verse 3
Her father don't like me at all
He Know I'd be her big downfall.
Her words of love were just a chain.
For me to stay would cause her pain.

Chorus
I'm goin' through west Texas on the run.
I sang my song, and now I'm done.
I've got to make the Rio Grande,
Lay up in Mexico's my plan.

Verse 4
She said a child was on the way.
I'd have to settle down and stay.
If felt the walls around me close.
I saw my freedom slip away.

Chorus
I'm goin' through west Texas on the run.
I sang my song, and now I'm done.
I've got to make the Rio Grande,
Lay up in Mexico's my plan.

Verse 5
Although her tears did tear my heart.
I knew by dawn I'd have to part.
That warm bed was hard to leave,
But love's a lie we sometimes weave.

Chorus
I'm goin' through west Texas on the run.
I sang my song, and now I'm done.
I've got to make the Rio Grande,
Lay up in Mexico's my plan.
Holdin' some senorita's hand.
