Jim Lauderdale - Pretty Close To The Truth Lyrics

Well I just need a little more time I'm begging you to give me
It's just not right to carry on this way with you
A big boy that oughta act like a man someday
Yeah that's pretty close to the truth

Well I don't know what to tell you or what to hold back
But I believe in the long long trail of clues
That after awhile lead pretty close to the truth

Don't mean to be wrong never meant to hurt you at all

You left the door so far open I couldn't go in
But somehow you started seeing my point of view
That after awhile looks pretty close to the truth

Don't mean to be wrong never meant to hurt you at all

I just need a little more time...
Pretty close to the truth yeah pretty close to the truth
