Johnnie & Jack - Sweet Lies Lyrics

I watched as he held her and kissed her goodnight
Heard every word as I stood out of sight
Just like a fool everything he believed
Nothing but sweet lies she once told to me

Once he's not falling he won't want her stop
She'll fill him up high then let him drop
Down with the others who never could see
It's only sweet lies she once told to me

[ fiddle ]
Fool hearted boy should I tell what I know
Just how she'd win love and then let it go
Too much in love and too far gone to see
It's only sweet lies she once told to me

Once he's not falling he won't want her stop...

[ dobro ]
She'll whisper sweet words and make his head spin
He'll never know of the trouble that he's in
Till it's all over and he'll surely see
It's only sweet lies she once told to me

Once he's not falling he won't want her stop...
