In The Shadow Of A lie - George Jones[00:00:00]
I lead a rich rewarding life a wife a home a car[00:00:11]
But generally you can find me down in some dim lit bar[00:00:21]
I hold all the treasures of the world this fact I can't deny[00:00:29]
But I'm living yes I'm living in the shadow of a lie[00:00:38]
My wife's first husband and myself were on a fishin' trip[00:00:49]
He was in our rowboat me on shore when I saw my partner slip[00:00:58]
A hellish thing took hold of me and I delayed my rescue dash[00:01:07]
Still I knew my lover husband had finally breathed his last[00:01:15]
I took his body back to town and restrained a happy smile[00:01:27]
When they said there'd be a hearin' wouldn't even be a trial[00:01:35]
That a fine upstanding citizen like me could do no wrong[00:01:44]
And the walls between me and my love would finally soon be gone[00:01:53]
Now just when my world glows brightest and warm thoughts run through my head[00:02:04]
A chilling darkness hovers like a demon over head[00:02:13]
And sometimes the guilt inside me reigns so strong I hope to die[00:02:24]
For I'm living is it living in the shadow of a lie[00:02:33]
