The Weight Of Lies Lyrics

The Avett Brothers

Disappear from your hometown
Go and find the people that you know
Show them all your good parts
Leave town when the bad ones start to show
Go and wed a woman, a pretty girl that you've 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 nothin 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 aero plane
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 an confidence
But leaving out his doubt.
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 nothin 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 aero plane
To chase you down.

The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town,
Cause nothin 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 aero plane
To chase you anywhere.

The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town,
Cause nothin 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 aero plane
To chase you down
