lyrics

My baby told me
said just go with the flow
But she don’t see that waterfall
ain't never had to row
Said why can’t you be happy
you’ll be dead before you listen
Well babe it ain't that easy
for a yellow-bellied chicken

Good old fashioned
American lies
My lady knows
'Cause I tell them all the time
What a genius
always makes corrections
Send him off a running
the opposite direction

Now her eyes have faded
not so innocent no more
But I wouldn’t know myself
I can’t look off the floor
Hung up my rubber soles
between two telephone poles
She knows where to find me
no I ain't coming home

Good old fashioned
American lies
Saw them every time
I looked into her eyes
Two oval mirrors
set back in fine complexion
All that I was seeing
had just been my reflection

Made my life a battle
you know I was old Ulysses
The General Lee inside of me
his rifle never misses
He patiently awaits
for any sign weakness
A flaw in the defenses
or hint of confidence

Good old fashioned
American lies
I tell em to the mountains
or under any skies
Sometimes I believe em
sometimes I think they're funny
Sometimes I’m the only one
who doesn’t see them coming

Beaten passed submission
supplies are long since low
Surrender is the battle plan
only choice I know
A fight that I had started
by a passion and some pride
No glorious end for me
a prisoner’s demise

Good old fashioned
American lies
Saw them every time
I looked into her eyes
Two oval mirrors
set back in fine complexion
All that I was seeing
had just been my reflection
