Text: Billy Ray Cyrus. Trail of Tears. Truth Is I Lied.

Scratched a heart on your door
Then I showed myself outside
Lashed my soul 'cross this twin-v horse
And rode off in the night
Guess you noticed I'm gone
And the low morning sun's
Cast some shadows with questions inside
So the truth's in this letter
At dawn will shed a new light

Truth is I lied when I said
I'd always be your whippin' pet
I lied when I said
"I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess"
When I pleaded and stated
I needed you just to survive
Truth is last night when you
Tore my heart apart my mind began
Never thinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again
And a freedom that filled me
Kept spelling out truth as I'd write
Truth is I lied

Saw an image of you
Where the highway touched the sky
It was blockin' my view
So I steered that thought aside
Now the morning and me ride
A cold memory past tomorrow to some other town
Where we'll never care whether
This truth was lost or found

Truth is I lied when I said
I'd always be your whippin' pet
I lied when I said
"I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess"
When I pleaded and stated
I needed you just to survive (I lied)
Truth is last night when you
Tore my heart apart my mind began
Never thinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again
And a freedom that filled me
Kept spelling out truth as I'd write
Truth is I lied

Truth is I lied
