ALIBI

ALIBI A Country Song Verse 1 I saw your truck outside his old bar downtown Neon lights and whiskey pourin’ strong around You said you were home, asleep by nine But the truth leaves footprints every time Your lipstick story don’t hold up tonight Like smoke in the dark beneath those lights I kept believin’ every word you’d try Till heartbreak became your alibi Chorus You got an alibi for every tear I cry Another late-night reason, another crooked lie You wear innocence like blue denim and white But even angels can disappear at night I loved you honestly, you loved your disguise Now all that’s left between us is your alibi Verse 2 There’s a picture turned over on our bedroom shelf Like you were tryin’ to hide the truth from yourself I hear your perfume on a stranger’s coat And every little silence cuts my throat Daddy warned me ‘bout a wandering heart Said some people love till the leaving starts But I held on like a fool in a storm While your excuses kept me warm Chorus You got an alibi for every tear I cry Another late-night reason, another crooked lie You wear innocence like blue denim and white But even angels can disappear at night I loved you honestly, you loved your disguise Now all that’s left between us is your alibi Bridge One day the moonlight won’t cover your tracks And all the love you wasted won’t come back You can run from me, but the truth survives A broken heart remembers all the signs Final Chorus You had an alibi for every tear I cried Every lonely Sunday, every sleepless night Now I’m drivin’ down this highway leavin’ you behind With country songs and freedom on my mind You can keep your stories, your whiskey, your lies I finally stopped believin’ your alibi.
