Ask any young man in this town who is over thirteen. To tell you about the things and places he's seen. If he tells you somethin' 'bout women you haven't known.
I just can't get it through my head, you love another now instead. Can't make myself believe we're really through. I'm walking up and down the hall talking to a silent wall.
See the moon above the mountain watch the stars light up the sky. Oh wherever you are darling do you feel the same as I. Tell your heart you know that I love you and I never see us to care.
Beautiful lies, beautiful lies. Each word is a heartache in perfect disguise. I can't help but listen and then I realize. The words you have spoken are beautiful lies.
I know it's been a long time since my family moved away. And I've been lookin' forward to this trip back here today. I'd like to hear bout all the folks here in my old hometown.

There was a time we'd sit in the backyard. 'Cause the house would get so hot. From the summer sun, there was no way of sleepin'. And you'd play your old guitar, we'd fight mosquitoes and enjoy.
Crying in the darkness cause I'm going through another lonely night. Waiting till the morning brings you home. Trying to believe you cause you say each time you're gonna treat me right.
Don't be troubled 'bout me cause I'm tired. From workin' 'round the house. When day is done. Don't think you failed me cause you can't afford. That dishwasher to make my life more fun.

On the back side of Dallas in the dingy bar on a wornout stool she sits. And her trembling hand thumbeles for another kingside filter cigarette. She blows a puff of smoke then settles back and look across that light blue haze.
