Livin' A Lie |
| Spotlight’s on, it’s shining bright |
| And I like standin' in it |
| It’s only superficial light |
| But I don’t want to end it |
| It’s warmth and glow has taken hold |
| And I’m caught up in it’s shine |
| A Cinderella fairy tale |
| I want to claim as mine |
| Fancy clothes, a magic coach |
| And happy ever after |
| Like something from a story book |
| The Cinderella chapter |
| But when the clock strikes midnight |
| And I lie awake in bed |
| Things my Daddy told me |
| Keep running through my head |
| You gotta walk the straight and narrow |
| And to thine own self be true |
| Gotta aim straight as an arrow |
| All eyes are up on you |
| But sometimes it feels so good |
| That I can almost justify |
| Livin' a lie — livin' a lie |
| Livin' a lie — livin' a lie |
| Is it wrong for me to want |
| The sweeter grass that’s greener? |
| To chase the all-American dream |
| I’ve always been a dreamer |
| At the top and still I’ve got |
| A heavy heart inside |
| I keep remembering |
| Things my Daddy told me as a child |
| You gotta walk the striaght and narrow |
| Gotta hold fast to the right |
| Gotta aim straight as an arrow |
| Walk onward toward the light |
| Oh, but when I’m out there in it |
| I think I might get by |
| Livin' a lie — livin' a lie |
| But I don’t feel right livin' a lie |
| Livin' a lie — livin' a lie |
| All the fame and fortune |
| Glory and prestige |
| Can’t make me happy if it goes |
| Against what I believe |
| And I’ve sacrificed my honor |
| My values and my pride |
| Livin' a lie — livin' a lie |
| Livin' a lie — livin' a lie |
| Livin' a lie — livin' a lie |
| Livin' a lie |
| Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, I don’t feel right |
