with his head out the sunroof

and his heart in the right place

plan B was foolproof

he drove off to her place

he yelled out his feelings

among other stuff

it was too much tequila

or not quite enough

it was too much tequila

or not quite enough



It's a semi-true story

believe it or not

I made up a few things

and there's some I forgot

But the life and the telling

are both real to me

and they all run together

and turn out to be

a semi-true story



Well the picture is fuzzy

and the details are sorted

it was on the same day that God's Own Drunk was recorded

A walking tall sheriff and a big cadillac

and me and golf shoes on the hood making tracks

this daring young singer was under attack



It's a semi-true story

believe it or not

I made up a few things

and there's some I forgot

But the life and the telling

are both real to me

and they all run together

and turn out to be

a semi-true story



Well the things that I've lived

and I've dreamed

and I've seen

and I've heard

You'll take the good with the bad

and be glad that every word



It's a semi-true story

believe it or not

I made up a few things

and there's some I forgot

But the life and the telling

are both real to me

and they run like the rain

all the way to the sea

semi-true stories
