THE AVETT BROTHERS LYRICS - The Weight Of Lies

"The Weight Of Lies"



Disappear from your home town

Go and find the people that you know

Show them all of your good parts

Beat down when the bad ones start to show



Going with a woman

A pretty girl that you never met

Make sure she knows you love her well

But don't make any other promises



The weight of lies will bring you down

And follow you to every town 'cause

Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there

When you run make sure you run

To something and not away from 'cause

Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere



I once heard the worse thing a man can do is draw a hungry crowd

Tell everyone his name in pride and confidence

But leaving out his doubts

I'm not sure I bought those words

When I was young I knew most everything

These words have never meant as much to anyone

As they now mean to me



The weight of lies will bring you down

And follow you to every town 'cause

Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there

When you run make sure you run

To something and not away from 'cause

Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you down



The weight of lies will bring you down

And follow you to every town'cause

Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there

So when you run make sure you run

To something and not away from 'cause

Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere



The weight of lies will bring you down

And follow you to every town 'cause

Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there

So when you run make sure you run

To something and not away from 'cause

Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you down
