Lyrics
Lyin Heart

Verse:
Once in a while my heart starts talkin?
Its tellin? crazy things to my brain
And every time it starts talking
I know its drivin? me insane
Well it happened again just the other day
My heart started beatin? at my chest
My mind wouldn?t look the other way
Wouldn?t give my soul any rest
Chorus:
My Lyin? Heart, My Lyin? Heart
I want to part with My Lyin? Heart
My Lyin? Heart, My Lyin? Heart
Maybe it will tell the truth someday (this line x2)
Well it started back when I was just a little boy
A little blonde girl a little older than me
She opened my heart to a little joy
Then she ran off with the boy from Grant County
Another time since then that I?m ponderin?
I swear that girl had everything
She said our paths were drawn beyond that yonder
And she?s a real big reason why I sing
Repeat Chorus x 2
Last Line x 3
