Simple Truth Songtext
von Jeff Austin

Little Lou had dreams of running with a country band
Singing "Oh, Whiskey River" from every corner of this land
Oh, she looked up, mama said, "Buttercup, come on, baby, take my hand"
And scraped her up off of that barroom floor

Oh, I would not, could not believe it if I saw it with my own eyes
Simple truth getting twisted with all those lies


Little Blue had a fast car, wanted him a girlfriend, too
Burned ninety miles of track to court favor with the little girl Lou
Yeah, Daddy said, "Son, you better get
Right like I told you time and time before"
He threw that bail down, stormed out that jailhouse door

Oh, I would not, could not believe it if I saw it with my own eyes
Simple truth getting twisted with all those lies

Hold those dreams on every corner
Hold those dreams with hard times to come

Oh, everybody in my town listens to the preacher man
Says, "Glory, glory, hallelujah, oh, brother, sister, take my hand"
Oh, fear not when you get your shot and you reach the promised land
Don′t look back, just keep on keepin' on


Lord, I would not, could not believe it if I saw it with my own eyes
Simple truth getting twisted
Simple truth getting twisted with all those lies
