Lyrics
I talked to my brother just the other day
Said he saw her with some guy out on the interstate in a Chevrolet
He ain't the kind to go and make some story up
So it must've been a girl that looked just like she does in that truck
She said she's in Mexico with a few of her girlfriends
And they're headed up to Dallas for a long weekend
Last time that I talked to her said she just needed time
So tonight, I'm gettin' by on three chords and a lie
A couple buddies said they saw her hangin' on someone's arm
In the next town over, they weren't sober
And it's always dark in that smoky bar
I'd sure like to meet this girl that looks like mine
But until I do, all the rest of you can
Let the rumors fly, yeah, I'll be fine
She said she's in Mexico with a few of her girlfriends
And they're headed up to Dallas for a long weekend
Last time that I talked to her said she just needed time
So tonight, I'm gettin' by on three chords and a lie
Pickin' up this old six string
Playin' it straight from the heart
And if everybody knows the truth but me
I still wanna believe
She's just down in Mexico with a few of her girlfriends
And they're headed up to Dallas for a long weekend
Last time that I talked to her said she just needed time
So tonight, I'm gettin' by on three chords and a lie
