(written by Jamie O'Hara)



After you came in late last night

You said you'd been alone

Just needed some room to clear your mind

A little time away from home



Told me you were down on Highway 9

Down by the river bend

But this town has ears and this town has eyes

And a whole lot of so called friends

Oooh that ain't the way I heard it

Oooh that ain't the way I heard it



Don't you think I wanna trust every word you say

Don't you think I wanna look in your eyes

And feel suspicion slip away

When you say you got nothin' to hide

Oooh that ain't the way I heard it

Oooh that ain't the way I heard it



Throw me out a lifeline baby

Offer me a grain of truth

Treat me with a little bit of dignity

I think I deserve that much from you



Gimme one reason for stayin' cool

Tell me they're no good liars

Don't make me play your pathetic fool

Baby, show me that old desire



After you came in late last night

You said you'd been alone

Just needed some room to clear your mind

A little time away from home



Told me you were down on Highway 9

Down by the river bend

But this town has ears and this town has eyes

And a whole lot of so called friends

Oooh that ain't the way I heard it

Oooh that ain't the way I heard it
