“
Whiskey Truths and Lies"
(Verse 1)
In the glow of the bar signs, where stories intertwine,
I've seen love come and go, in the blink of an eye.
But if there's one thing I stand by, as I look up at the sky,
Hurt me with the truth, but never comfort me with a lie.
(Chorus)
Lies, they're like a backroad dust storm, blinding and unkind,
Leaving you lost and alone, searching for a sign.
But truth, it's like a highway, straight and defined,
Hurt me with the truth, but never comfort me with a lie.
(Verse 2)
I've laughed with strangers, cried on a friend's shoulder,
Felt the sting of regret as the nights get colder.
In the strum of the guitar, in every note I fly,
Hurt me with the truth, but never comfort me with a lie.
(Bridge)
Give me raw, give me real, give me something I can feel,
Not just a sweet nothing, that'll disappear with the dawn's reveal.
So fill up my glass, let the spirits testify,
And speak to me honestly, don't be shy.
(Chorus)
Lies, they're like a backroad dust storm, blinding and unkind,
Leaving you lost and alone, searching for a sign.
But truth, it's like a highway, straight and defined,
Hurt me with the truth, but never comfort me with a lie.
(Outro)
So raise your glass to honesty, it's the melody we crave,
In this modern country scene, it's the anthem of the brave.
For every soul that's searching, for every tearful eye,
Hurt me with the truth, but never comfort me with a lie.
