Jim Ed Brown - Tangled Web Lyrics

(Harlan Howard)

With heavy heart I hurry home
Afraid the one I love is gone
Afraid she knows I've been untrue
Afraid of what she'll do.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave
When first we been through to deceive
What a tangled web we weave
To keep from hurting someone.

I don't know why I went astray
The price is more than I can pay
I lie to hide the things that I do
But one lie leads to two.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave
When first we been through to deceive
What a tangled web we weave
To keep from hurting someone.

When she should find out where I've been
I know that it will be the end
If I can't keep my guilt within
I'll never lie again.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave
When first we been through to deceive
What a tangled web we weave
To keep from hurting someone...
