Miranda Lambert Album

Hey white liar
the truth comes out a little at a time
and it spreads just like a fire
slips off of your tongue like turpentine
and i don't know why
white liar

you better be careful what you do
i wouldn't wanna be in your shoes
if they ever found you out
you better be careful what you say
it never really added up any way
I got friends in this town

Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
and it spreads just like a fire
slips off of your tongue like turpentine
and I don't know why
white liar

You said you went out to a bar
and walked some lady to her car
but your face has more to tell
cuz my cousin saw you on the street
with a red head named Bernice
Turns out you don't lie too well

Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
and it spreads just like a fire
slips off of your tongue like turpentine
and I don't know why
white liar

Here's a bombshell just for you
turns out I've been lying too

Yeah I'm a white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
and it spreads just like a fire
slips off of my tongue like turpentine
and I don't know why
White Liar

Well I've been saved by the grace of southern charm
I got a mouth like a sailor and yours is more like a hallmark card
If you wanna pick a fight well I'm gonna have to say good night
I don't have to be hateful, I can just say bless your heart

And even though I don't belong with your high life friends
Doesn't mean we don't get together and try to make amens
It's easier can you see lets agree to just disagree
We don't have to like each other but its sure fun to pretend

So lets shake hands and reach across those party lines
You got your friend just like I got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We're just like you, only prettier

Everybody says you gotta know your enemies
Even if they only weigh a hundred pounds and stand five foot three
If you just smile and behave you could always get your way
It's a universal plan that'll get you where you can in all societies

So lets shake hands and reach across those party lines
You got your friend just like I got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We're just like you, only prettier

So lets shake hands and reach across those party lines
You got your friend just like I got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We're just like you, only prettier

Well I'll keep drinkin' and you'll keep gettin' skinnier
Hey I'm just like you only prettier

I feel like the flowers in this vase
He just brought 'em home one day, "Ain't they beautiful?" he said
They been here in the kitchen and the waters turnin' gray
They're sittin' in the vase but now they're dead, dead flowers

I feel like this long string of lights
They lit up our whole house on Christmas Day
But now it's January and the bulbs are all burned out
But still they hang like dead flowers

He ain't feelin' anythin'
My love, my hurt or the sting of this rain
I'm livin' in a hurricane
All he can say is, 'Man ain't it such a nice day?'
Yeah, yeah

I feel like the tires on this car
You said they won't go far but we're still rollin'
I look in the rear view and I see dead flowers in the yard
And that string of lights and it ain't glowin'
Like dead flowers, like dead flowers

He ain't feelin' anythin'
My love, my hurt or the sting of this rain
I'm drivin' through a hurricane
All he can say is, "Man ain't it such a nice day?"
Hey, hey, I guess we'll just go to waste
Like dead flowers

Like dead flowers, dead flowers

Gives you something you
Can do with your hands
Makes you look cool and
Feel like a man
In the morning you'll
Probably regret me

Me and your cigarettes

Started young,
It's too late to quit
Most call it a
Bad, bad habit
Your momma told you you
Could end up dead with me

Me and your cigarettes

Always there every time
You need me
It ain't love but
Just like nicotine
You're addicted to a
Feeling you can only get

From me and your cigarettes

Light us up and then
Throw us down
Walk away when we
Hit the ground
How's it gonna feel when you
Come back around here and see

Just you and your cigarettes

Always there every time
You need me
It ain't love but
Just like nicotine
You're addicted to a
Feeling you can only get

From me and your cigarettes

I put a bullet in our radio
Something just hit me, funny I don't know
Just pull the trigger long down the road
You slam the door and knock me off the wire
Been walkin' lines, and you've been burnin' tires
Slow and easy, ain't that what you like?

It's insane, it's in vain
You stay to maintain the pain

I hear your name and then it burns a hole
I swear I hate you but I can't let go
The kind of damage that you can't console

It's all in vain, it's all insane
I swear you stay
I swear you stay to maintain the pain

It's all in vain (I hear your name and then it burns a hole)
It's all insane (I swear I hate you but I can't let you go)
I swear you stay
I swear you stay to maintain the pain (I swear I hate you but I can't let you go)
Maintain the pain

Sometimes I wish I lived in airstream homemade curtains
Lit just like a gypsy
Break her heart and roll out of town
Cause gypsies never get tied down

Sometimes I wish I lived on a mountain
Drank from a stream
Instead of a fountain
I'd stay there, on top of the world
But I was born a red dirt girl

Unbridled, or tethered in tide
Safety of the fence
Or the danger of the ride
I'll always be unsatisfied

Sometimes I wish I lived by a pier
In a light houes with a chandler
I'd watch everybody's ships come in
And then I'd sail away with them

Unanchored in a storm
Or save me on the shore
If this is all I need
Why do I want more

Sometimes I wish I lived in airstream homemade curtains
Lit just like a gypsy

If I ever left this town
I'd never settle down
I'd just be wanderin' around
If I ever left this town

If I wasn't by your side
I'd never be satisfied
Nothin' would feel just right
If I wasn't by your side

'Cause I'm not easy to understand
But you know me like the back of your hand
I'm your girl and you're my man
And we're makin' plans....

We can go on and on
Won't ever feel too long
I'll always call you home
And we'll go on and on

'Cause I know you like the back of my hand
Got a heart of gold and a piece of land
I'm your girl and you're my man
And we're makin' plans....

My neighbor’s car got stole last night
Right out of his driveway
We heard the dog ‘a barking,
We never paid them any mind
And Mary says she’s gonna lock the door
From now on when we go away
I’ve been walking around this farm
Wondering if it’s time

Chorus
Time to get a gun,
That’s what I been thinkin’
I could afford one if I did
just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between
Me and the sun
When the talking is over
It’s time to get a gun

Last week a government man was there
When I walked out of my back door
He said “I’m sorry to bother you ma’am”
It don’t matter anymore
‘Cause even while we’re talking
Right here where we stand
They’re making plans for a four-lane highway
And a big ole overpass

Chorus
Time to get a gun,
That’s what I been thinkin’
I could afford one if I did
just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between
Me and the sun
When the talking is over
It’s time to get a gun

Mary says she’s worried
About herself and her kids
She’s never known anybody had a gun
And her daddy never did
Well I think it should be up to me
‘cause when it’s all said and done
Somebody’s gotta walk into the night
And I’m gonna be that one

Chorus
Time to get a gun,
That’s what I been thinkin’
I could afford one if I did
just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between
Me and the sun
When the talking is over
It’s time to get a gun

When the party is over
It’s time to get a gun

Devil had a daughter
Took him to deep water
Tried to kill him with a kiss
He said “Hey now honey
What about the money”
I said “I ain’t got time for this”

[Chorus]
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don’t go
Make me, make me someone trouble don’t know

He said baby come inside
I said sorry I’ve got to ride
Sorry but I’ve got to ride
You know you could end up dead
Sleeping in the devil’s bed
Sleeping in the devil’s bed

[Repeat Chorus]
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don’t go
Make me, make me someone trouble don’t know

Baby wants to drive my car
But he wants to go too far
But he wants to go too far
First comes love and it’s so fine
Then comes heartache right behind
Then comes heartache right behind

My baby used to be so sweet
Now he won’t come down my street
Now he won’t come down my street
All my plans got derailed
He locked up my heart in jail
He locked up my heart in jail

[Repeat Chorus]
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don’t go
Make me, make me someone trouble don’t know

I know they say you cant go home again.
I just had to come back one last time.
Ma’am I know you don’t know me from Adam.
But these handprints on the front steps are mine.
And up those stairs, in that little back bedroom
is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar.
And I bet you didn’t know under that live oak
my favorite dog is buried in the yard.

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing.
Out here its like I’m someone else,
I thought that maybe I could find myself
if I could just come in I swear I’ll leave.
Won’t take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me.

Mama cut out pictures of houses for years.
From ‘Better Homes and Garden’ magazines.
Plans were drawn, concrete poured,
and nail by nail and board by board
Daddy gave life to mama’s dream.

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing.
Out here its like I’m someone else,
I thought that maybe I could find myself.
If I could just come in I swear I’ll leave.
Won’t take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me.

You leave home, you move on and you do the best you can.
I got lost in this whole world and forgot who I am.

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing.
Out here its like I’m someone else,
I thought that maybe I could find myself.
If I could walk around I swear I’ll leave.
Won’t take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me.

I was standing there crying in the kitchen
It's been one of those mornings that's gonna last all day
And he comes in, wraps his arms around me
And I don't even have to say a thing

That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song

He comes in, slams the door behind him
And he can't hide the worry on his face
Even though I got a million things to tell him
I know right now he just needs some space

That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song

Everybody always sings about it
How they're never gonna live without it
We don't even have to talk about it
'Cuz We're livin it out

That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song

I ain’t the kind you take home to mama
I ain’t the kind to wear no ring
Somehow I always get stronger
When I’m on my second drink

Even though I hate to admit it
Sometimes I smoke cigarettes
The Christian folks say I should quit it
And I just smile and say “god bless”

Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we’d get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he’d understand a heart like mine

Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo
But said he loved me anyway
My brother got the brains of the family
So I thought I’d learn to sing

Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we’d get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he’d understand a heart like mine

And I’ll fly away from it all one day
And I’ll fly, I’ll fly away
But these are the days that I will remember
When my names called on a roll
He’ll meet me with two long stem glasses
And make a toast to me coming home

Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we’d get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he’d understand
Understand a heart like mine
Oh yes he would

I remember vividly what that vision did to me
You laying with her in our bed
Love can be a tradgedy
When you do what you did to me
All I'm seeing now is red

I need to repent
A sin for a sin

Bible told me to forget
All those who trespass against
Tread their feet on sacred ground

Bad things come with consequence
What feels good, hurts in the end
Dont want to think about that now

I need to repent
A sin for a sin

Fire and brimstone
Dirt and a headstone
Bury them, baby
Along with your sins
Hear the thunder
Six feet under
Hit your knees
Wont do it again

Guilty pleasure
Ease the pain
Whisky runnin through my veins
Too late to save you now

I need to repent
A sin for a sin

Fire and brimstone
Dirt and a headstone
Bury them deep
Along with your sins
hear the thunder
Six feet under
hit your knees
wont do it again

I remember vividly
What that vision did to me

I know a gal got
A lot to lose
She's a pretty nice lady
But she’s kinda confused
Got muscles in her head
Ain't never been used
Thinks she owns half
Of this town
Starts drinking heavy
Gets a big red nose
And she beats her old
Man with her pantyhose
And takes him out and
Buys him new clothes
That's the way that
The world goes 'round

[Chorus]
That's the way that the
World goes 'round
One minute you’re up and
The next you’re down
It's a half an inch of water
And you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the
World goes 'round

Well I was sittin’ in the tub
Just a countin’ my toes
When the radiator broke
And the water froze
Got stuck in the ice
Without any clothes
Naked as the eyes of a clown
I was crying ice cubes
Hoping that I'd croak
When the sun came through the
Window and the ice all broke
I said son of a gun man
That’s just a joke
And that's the way that the
World goes 'round

[Repeat Chorus]
That's the way that the
World goes 'round
One minute you’re up and
The next you’re down
It's a half an inch of water
And you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the
World goes 'round

Carrying the weight on the end of a limb
your just waitin for somebody
to pick you up again
shaded by a tree, can't live up to a rose
all you ever wanted
was a silent place to grow

Pretty little thing
sometimes you gotta look up
and let the world see
all the beauty that your made of
cause the way you hang you head
nobody can tell
your my Virginia bluebell
my Viginia bluebell

Even through the snow
a flower can bloom
you just need a little push
spring is coming soon
umbrella in the rain
they'll roll off your back
better watcha can realize what you have

Pretty little thing
sometimes you gotta look up
and let the world see
all the beauty that your made of
cause the way you hang you head
nobody can tell
your my Virginia bluebell
my Viginia bluebell

Put a little light in the darkest places
put a little smile on the saddest faces

Pretty little thing
sometimes you gotta look up
and let the world see
all the beauty that your made of
cause the way you hang you head
nobody can tell
your my Virginia bluebell
my Viginia bluebell
