On The Level

Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Jim Lauderdale

A new Hunter/Lauderdale song in 2012.

I'm tired, so tired, of lying
The same I'm sure is true of you
So who do we think we're fooling
What harm would it do to be true

Let's both deal on the level
Tell the truth and shame the devil
We're both so tired of lying
While we watch our good love dying

The time has come and gone, dear
When we could hide in shadow
What do we think we have to fear
We can deal with that tomorrow

Let's both deal on the level
Tell the truth and shame the devil
We're both so tired of lying
While we watch our good love dying

We're both so tired of lying
While we watch our good love dying
