Songwriters: LONGACRE, SUSAN/ROBBINS, KENT M. Everybody said I'd leave you They gave us six months to a year Said our love would just fall prey to The jukebox, women and the beer They wanna start those rumours flyin' They're watchin'for a rendezvous But if they ever say I'm cheating They'll be lyin' The truth is lyin' next to you
(Chorus) Truth is I'm gonna be here for a long long time I'll stay forever or 'til you say goodbye Don't need no neon moon to make my night shine If you need some lovin' proof Just reach out The truth is lyin' next to you
Over phone lines and back fences We're the talk of this whole town They just shake their heads in wonder They can't believe I'm still around They can search the backstreets bar-rooms To see if I'm with someone new But if they ever say they saw me They'll be lyin' The truth is lyin' next to you
