Life on the Fence

He's callin me up, he's sure I might love him

I only answer when I'm drunk to the lees

We talk about Memphis, livin' so rough then

The strength in his voice makes me weak at the knees

Not sure what I saw 'fore I looked in his eyes

We ain't star-crossed just 'cause stars might align

Ain't proper high lonesome till it's

Almost too sad to be true

What happened in Memphis made too much sense

There's a part of my life she don't know exists

Why is livin' a lie more easy than life on the fence?

Why is livin' a lie more easy than life on the fence?

I ain't cryin' in public 'til it's perfectly lovely

I tried to fit in, I just can't in your town

I swear I ain't tryin' to become nobody

I tried to be hip, but it's tearin' me down

No tide without tempest, skip dinner skip breakfast

Drove halfway to Texas thinkin' on you

Hidebound and determined that I could unlearn this

She'd make me shiny and new

But what happened in Memphis made too much sense

There's a part of my life she don't know exists

Why is livin' a lie more easy than life on the fence?

Why is livin' a lie more easy than life on the fence?

He's callin' me up, cause he's sure I might love him

Why's livin' the lie more easy than life on the fence?
