"Laying Here Lying In Bed" lyrics - JIM ED BROWN

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...
