better than the truth - patterson hood lyrics

Loading...

billy ringo always said the fish don’t bite
can’t get a break to save my life
can’t get a break for all my life

fell out the window with the gl-ss bong in his hand
on the ground he did land
on his back with it smoking in his hand

billy ringo said he nearly crashed his car
on the winding roads not far
from the house he used to live in

said he felt them tires
lifting off the pavement
but he pulled it out in time
and he made it home by five

and he said i’m only looking
for an acceptable level of bullsh-t i can live with
but something’s gotta give
and i never could stand that son of a b-tch there in the mirror
staring back at me
staring back at me

billy ringo liked to play his music loud
said he never was allowed
to become the things
he said that he was
destined for them nights
drinking at the bar
talking about his shining star
and its impending incline

and he said i’m only looking
for an acceptable level of bullsh-t i can live with
but something’s gotta give
and if i wrote it in a movie
it would all end differently
and be better than the truth
better than the truth

the last time i saw billy
he was drinking at the bar
we caught up and made some small talk
he invited me over

and he started giving me
all the paintings on his wall
said he wanted me to have them
but he wouldn’t say what for

and if i wrote it in a movie
it would end there on the ground
like i said there in the first verse
that’s how he would be found

i would spare the movie goers
all the bitter sad details
better than the truth

i would spare the movie goers
all the bitter sad details
better than the truth
