Semi-True Story

(アルバム： Beach House On The Moon - 1999)

With his head out the sunroof and his heart in the right place
Plan B was foolproof, he drove off to her place
Yelled out his feelings, among other stuff
It was too much tequila or not quite enough
Too much tequila or not quite enough

It's a semi-true story, believe it or not
I made up a few things and there's some I forgot
But the life and the telling are both real to me
And they all run together and turn out to be
A semi-true story

Well, the picture is fuzzy and the details are sordid
It was on the same day that "God's Own Drunk" was recorded
A Walking Tall sheriff and a big Cadillac
And me and golf shoes on the hood making tracks
This daring young singer was under attack

It's a semi-true story, believe it or not
I made up a few things and there's some I forgot
But the life and the telling are both real to me
And they all run together and turn out to be
A semi-true story

Well, the things that I've lived and I've dreamed
And I've seen and I've heard
You'll take the good with the bad
And be glad that every word

It's a semi-true story, believe it or not
I made up a few things and there's some I forgot
But the life and the telling are both real to me
And they run like the rain all the way to the sea
Semi-true stories
