Laying Here Lying in Bed - Bobby Bare

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…
