With his head out the sunroof,

and his heart in the right place 

plan B was foolproof, 

he drove off to her place. 

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 sordid; 

it was on the same day '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 to have 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.
