Nothing but the Truth

Turned off the front porch light
I always left burning
'Cause you ain’t comin' home
No you ain’t comin' home
And I quit makin coffee for two every morning
'Cause I wake up alone I wake up alone
I cleaned out my closet and threw things away
That reminded me of you day after day
I’ll get over you, I know that I will
But first I have to cry just a few more tears
To wash you away
It can’t be that hard, yes it is
It always has to be something to lose
When it ain’t nothin'
Nothin' but the truth
I went out and bought me a ticket to freedom
And a new pair of glasses, a new pair of glasses
It might take me a while to get there from here
Oh but everything passes, everything passes
Can’t live with regret
Or without memories
But I can lay down this burden
And let myself see
That I’ll…
I got to face the facts
You ain’t comin' back
Goodbye is goodbye is goodbye
And I’ll get over you
For the rest of my life
Oh but first I’ll have to cry an ocean of tears
And wash you away
It can’t be that hard
Oh yes it is
It always has to be everything to lose
When it ain’t nothin'
Nothin' but the truth
You know this ain’t nothin'
Nothin' but the truth
An amazing Kim Patton-Johnston tune. One of Steve Earle’s original Dukes
and currently Marty Stuart’s drummer, Harry Stinson joins in on a killer
harmony vocal. This is one of my favorite songs to sing.
