Joe Lies (When the Cries)
HAGGARD, Merle Haggard
I see it on the street in people passing by everybody's got someplace to be and I'm not sure why
I don't care to see them try to hide their lies you see it's plain to me
I think it's deep inside
Everything is holding me from this truth and I find it's so rare to see people speak so honestly
But everyday I try I'm gonna try
Problems are apparently what makes me try on and on
And it's hard to see why the struggle around its what brings me down on and on
Endlessly everyday I try all these jobs
And these words are nothing without honesty
People say if they don't care then why should I care
I say I don't care then why should anyone care
So everyday I try to deal with these lies no more lies
