That's the Truth
Paul Brandt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't believe what you see in the news
Lawyers try with motions and revisions
To spin a tale and tip the scales of truth
I work hard to make an honest livin'
Do my best in everything I do
Whether it's nine to five, football, cars or fishin'
No lies or alibis
It's all so clear when I look in your eyes
Like an arrow shot bull's eye
Straight and true
Like the Mississippi flows into the bayou
(That's the truth) I'm comin' home to see you baby
You're the one thing that I know for sure
In a world that's goin' crazy
You're a matter of survival
My heart and soul revival
Swear on a stack of bibles
Cross my heart and I will be here for you
And that's the truth
When I'm lost in the chaos and confusion
You're the light that leads me to the shore
I tell you girl in a world full of illusions
You're the ray of truth that I've been lookin' for
Now I'm late on the interstate
Radio on at the end of the day
Got the pedal to the metal
Got the top rolled down
I want to scream and shout about the love we found
(That's the truth) I'm comin' home to see you baby
You're the one thing that I know for sure
In a world that's goin' crazy
You're a matter of survival
My heart and soul revival
Swear on a stack of bibles
Cross my heart and I will be here for you
And that's the truth
Like and arrow shot bull's eye
Straight and true
Like the Mississippi flows into the bayou
(That's the truth) I'm comin' home to see you baby
You're the one thing that I know for sure
In a world that's goin' crazy
You're a matter of survival
My heart and soul revival
Swear on a stack of bibles
Cross my heart and I will be here for you
I'm comin' home to see you baby
You're the one thing that I know for sure
In a world that's goin' crazy
You're a matter of survival
My heart and soul revival
Swear on a stack of bibles
Cross my heart and I will be here for you
And that's the truth
(That's the truth)
