Lyrics
How Hard To Be True
i take your words with a grain of salt, and then with a shot of whiskey
the things you say are what i want but lies never seem to miss me
straight as an arrow
i watch your eyes for the slightest shift - a sure sign of the guilty
i watch you move those ruby lips and dream of how you’d kiss me
straight as an arrow
how hard to be true, how hard to be true is it for you
how hard to be true, how hard to be true is it for you
this i must ask before we dance
i’ll give you a chance if you take it slow and promise to be careful
this life as we know it we just don’t know
we’re shooting with no barrel, straight as an arrow
CHORUS
i take your words with a grain of salt, and then with a shot of whiskey
straight as an arrow
