I Can Not Lie

Dad used to tell me, better hold your horses These fields of golden grain
They go against your soul's importance You don't do as I say, I ain't raise you that way
Only time that I ever prayed was to give thanks For all of my blessings, and I can't lie
Leave the devil at the detail, and mama won't mind I'll leave the price off the retail

And you can have this, only if it makes you feel free
Like a road map, I'll take a right where you left off But I can't lie, put your hands on me
Into the state of mind, fly on the highway I feel the chills going down your spine
This is me going my way And if it's thrills you seek, then you must be blind

Won't you close your eyes and invite what you see Like a road map, I'll take a right where you left off
And with your hand in mine

I'll hold on, and I won't let you go I'll talk with the ghost in the room, I see your shadow
I cannot lie, I hear the whispers in the night I know it's you, I love you too, I promise

I'll hold on, and I won't let you go I'll talk with the ghost in the room, I see your shadow
I cannot lie, I hear the whispers in the night I know it's you, I love you too, I promise

I promise that I won't make promises that I can't keep
And when I give my word, you could pocket the receipt Let me see what I fall short

Then I'll bring you in close and admit my wrongs And I'll tell you that I love you, but I'm moving on
And I did my best, but it's time to be strong
I will not forget these lifelong lessons This is bitter sweet to tell the world this message
I guess it makes it easier to say I believe it's you

Unbelievable, I guess my faith is what makes it true
And when I say that I'm moving on, you're coming with me
I've been sleeping out of sadness behind
I'm wishing you could see the man I've become from your teachings
And when I hear your voice in my mind, I'm repeating
All the lessons I learned from my father up above and to my sons, I promise

I'll hold on, and I won't let you go I'll talk with the ghost in the room, I see your shadow
I cannot lie, I hear the whispers in the night I know it's you, I love you too, I promise
I'll hold on, and I won't let you go I'll talk with the ghost in the room, I see your shadow
I cannot lie, I hear the whispers in the night I know it's you, I love you too
Thanks for watching
