Yes, my wedding band is just too loose to hold me
'Cause it slips off my finger now and then
Especially when I'm laying here with Anna in my arms
I find it's gettin' harder to pretend

'Cause Anna just don't know how much I'm married
If she did I know she'd want to die
But what she doesn't know won't ever hurt her
So I lay right here and tell another lie

I'll be laying here lying in bed
I know what she wants to hear so that's what will be said
The truth would only hurt her so I'll tell a lie instead
While I'm laying here lying in bed

When I get home I'll kiss the tie that binds me
'Cause he's the apple of his daddy's eye
If his nother wakes and asks me where I've been and if I love her
Then Lord I'll have to tell another lie

I'll be laying here lying in bed
I know what she wants to hear so that's what will be said
The truth would only hurt her so I'll tell a lie instead
While I'm laying here lying in bed...
