You don't need to laugh so hard
You don't have to wear a tie
Sometimes honest is being caught inside a lie
And I have been there, I have been there
If I'd lived an easy life
Would I still choose you
Would I fall on the same knife
A rodeo queen breathing fire into the night
I have been there, man I've been there
chorus:
What do you say we set the pleasantries aside
Even the diamonds look like rocks to the untrained eye
What does it cost to buy your soul back when you die
What are the angels gonna do with you and I
What'll the angels do with you and I
Blame the end of days
Mercury in retrograde
Who believes in angels anyway
The color of the lie is white
I would die on that hill in a one-handed fight
If you're not swinging first you were never in the right
I have been there, man I've been there
(repeat chorus)
There's no need to curse the stars
Or bite before you bark
But when you need someone
To walk with in the dark
I have been there, I have been there...
