"No Lie" lyrics

"No Lie"

Savannah she stands in the door, she's lookin' cool and southern
She asks me if I want some, and I said "I can't take another one"
I said "I can't see to find my stuff, offer some help I'll except I"
She said "Your guitar's out in the back of the truck where you left it"

It's no lie
It's no lie
It's no lie babe
I got to quit gettin' high

I must have been cursed by a woman at one time
That would explain my luck
I was arrested on the 4th of July, was something about my conduct
When I got out I went downtown to try to find Mr. Foley
He's an ornery son of a bitch but his songs is almost holy

It's no lie
It's no lie
It's no lie babe
I got to quit gettin' high

Now Jesus is on the mainline is what Mr. McDowell tells me
When I hear him sing that song, words fail me

Ms. Williams tells me that Jesus turned the water into wine
You'd think somebody could do something like that
Would be a friend of mine

It's no lie
It's no lie
It's no lie babe
I got to quit gettin' high
