From the recording Second Hand Smoke

Share

This is a dark story song in the style of Johnny Cash

Lyrics

True Love Lies
V1
She told him that she loved him on the first night when they met
They had enough tequila that they both believed she did
He knew she was a working girl and a lady of the night
He knew his love was true for her but he didn't know his true love lies

Chorus
She looked like an angel
In his bed that night
His hand beneath the pillow where his
True love lies

V2
When the liquor and the money ran out, she went into town
He found her in a cheap motel in the arms of another man
The lights were out but he saw her face from the red neon light
He thought she had betrayed him right there where his true love lies

Chorus 2
She looked like an angel
In his bed that night
His hand held down the pillow where his
True love lies

Instr.

V3
Clouds cast shadows like dancing ghosts on the hill where she's laid to rest
Sixteen years now the case is cold but the sheriff still suspects
Neighbor backed up his alibi on the night when she died
Now there's six feet of cold hard dirt between him and where his true love lies

Ch 3
She haunts him like a devil
In his bed at night
Begging him to join her where his
True love lies
Where his true love lies
Where his true love lies
