One Little Lie

Some people are lucky
I don’t know why
Some are born to laugh
Others born to cry
Some are full of envy
Some don’t have a care
One brother’s born selfish
The other to share

There’s crosses on the road
Where the good die young
Prisons and asylums
For unfortunate ones
You say you make your own luck
You make your own mistakes
But be careful, my friend, of the judgments you make

Chorus:
You might be a mighty man
Own the whole dang town
But one wrong step
One little lie
Can bring your whole world down

I once knew a man
Who fought in the war
He was our hero
And we opened our doors
But he took what he wanted
And he wanted it all
They say that pride always goes
Just before the fall

Chorus

You say that your Jesus
Is better than mine
That he rules with a strong hand
So I better walk the line
And you say that heaven is just for the few
But I don’t think Jesus
Takes his orders from you

Chorus
