james mcnair – lying for a living lyrics

[verse 1]
packed up that old tahoe
500 to my name
found a room on craigslist
off of cedar lane
and they say there’s a hundred people
that are moving here a day
with a hundred different songs
that all sound the same
cowboy hats and wrangler jeans
man who they trying to fool
it’s like la in the south
just one big acting school

[chorus]
they keep signing what they know
tailgates and old jon boats
when they grew up down the cul+de+sac
can’t cast no fishing pole
you can fake it till you make it
be some big old country star
but there ain’t an ounce of honest
in thosе lyrics from the heart
so i’ll keep doing what i do
ain’t gonna fix what don’t need fixing
i’ll stick to three chords and the truth
and you can keep lying for a living

[verse 2]
playеd to empty bar stools
sold everything i own
for just one hit of that drug called country radio
and the devil’s handing out the deals
and you’re left out in the cold
cause you just don’t quite fit that cookie cutter mold

[chorus]
they keep signing what they know
tailgates and old jon boats
when they grew up down the cul+de+sac
can’t cast no fishing pole
you can fake it till you make it
be some big old country star
but there ain’t an ounce of honest
in those lyrics from the heart
so i’ll keep doing what i do
ain’t gonna fix what don’t need fixing
i’ll stick to three chords and the truth
and you can keep lying for a living
you can keep lying for a living

[bridge]
when i go to sleep at night
yeah i sleep just fine
rather be betting on myself
than banking on a lie

[chorus]
they keep signing what they know
tailgates and old jon boats
when they grew up down the cul+de+sac
can’t cast no fishing pole
you can fake it till you make it
be some big old country star
but there ain’t an ounce of honest
in those lyrics from the heart
so i’ll keep doing what i do
ain’t gonna fix what don’t need fixing
i’ll stick to three chords and the truth
and you can keep lying for a living
you can keep lying for a living
you can keep lying for a living
you can keep lying for a living
