Lyrics Merle Haggard – A Thousand Lies Ago

We had so many really good times
And I spent ’em all like nickels and dimes
But that was all a thousand lies ago

I used to be your really best friend

Hey, I lied to you so many times
You won’t believe a thing
But true love still lies between the lines
Each time you hear me sing

What I didn’t know I’ll never know why
We had a good thing goin’ in days gone by
Ah, but that was all a thousand lies ago

Well, I lied to you so many times
That you can’t believe a thing
But true love still lies between the lines
Each time you hear me sing

I had so many really good times
I spent ’em all like nickels and dimes
Ah, but that was all a thousand lies ago
