about

Co-written by Craig & George Garrett, our original drummer in the Burnt Taters. This is a total re-tooling of this song that first appeared on "Strange But True". This more swing version features Ned & Jim on lead guitars, and Diana Keene on pedal steel

lyrics

Well it hasn’t been right for a long, long time
I try to talk to you, you just end up cryin’
You say it doesn’t matter anymore
And you’re gonna walk right out that door
Once upon a time you were so sweet
You held my hand walking down the street
Now when I touch you, you look at me strange
I think I figured out what’s changed

Truth is, you don’t love me
Truth is, you just wanna leave me
Truth is, you told me you’d be mine for life
Truth is, you told a lie

I remember that day in early spring
When you said “I do” and you wore my ring
We both said it was for better or worse
But now that ring has become a curse
Why couldn’t I see what was in your heart?
I’ve just never been that smart
You won’t tell me why you changed your mind
But the answer isn’t hard to find

Truth is, you don’t love me
Truth is, you just wanna leave me
Truth is, you told me you’d be mine for life
Truth is, you told a lie
