《In The Shadow Of A lie》歌词

[00:00:00] In The Shadow Of A lie - George Jones

[00:00:11] I lead a rich rewarding life a wife a home a car

[00:00:21] But generally you can find me down in some dim lit bar

[00:00:29] I hold all the treasures of the world this fact I can't deny

[00:00:38] But I'm living yes I'm living in the shadow of a lie

[00:00:49] My wife's first husband and myself were on a fishin' trip

[00:00:58] He was in our rowboat me on shore when I saw my partner slip

[00:01:07] A hellish thing took hold of me and I delayed my rescue dash

[00:01:15] Still I knew my lover husband had finally breathed his last

[00:01:27] I took his body back to town and restrained a happy smile

[00:01:35] When they said there'd be a hearin' wouldn't even be a trial

[00:01:44] That a fine upstanding citizen like me could do no wrong

[00:01:53] And the walls between me and my love would finally soon be gone

[00:02:04] Now just when my world glows brightest and warm thoughts run through my head

[00:02:13] A chilling darkness hovers like a demon over head

[00:02:24] And sometimes the guilt inside me reigns so strong I hope to die

[00:02:33] For I'm living is it living in the shadow of a lie
