Jason Aldean - The Truth Lyrics

Artist: Jason Aldean

Album: Wide Open

Genre: Country

  • Songwriters: Brett James, Ashley Monroe

Tell 'em all I'm on vacation
Say I went to visit friends
That you ain't heard or seen from me in quite a while
When they ask you where I've been

Tell 'em I'm out on the West Coast
Where it don't ever rain
And that I'm probably doing fine

Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy
That I'm still strung out over you
Tell 'em anythin' you want to
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth

Tell 'em all I'm out in Vegas
Blowin' every dollar I ever made
Tell 'em that I must be into somethin' bad for me
'Cause I sure lost a lot of weight

Tell 'em I'm out on the road
With some old rock and roll band
Living like a gypsy can

Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy
That I'm still strung out over you
Tell 'em anythin' you want to
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth

The truth is that I'm askin' you to lie
And we both know that it ain't right
But if you ever loved me
Please have some mercy on me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Tell 'em anything you want to
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth
I still need you

Yeah, that's the truth
I still love you
Baby, that's the truth

    I Love this song. When i first heard this song on the radio it really reminded of the one point in time where i was afraid to tell the truth alot and how that caused me to lie so much to some people including my parents. This song really got me when i first heard it and it has been and always will be one of my most favorite songs by Jason Aldean:)

    Sherry Here. Jason, I requested this song on the radio everyday since it came out until the release of "Crazytown" and I know you must feel this way about your wife since you are on the road so much and you would like to be home more. I heard Your bus broke down not too long ago. I'm sorry:( Hope you have a good touring year and I hope you get to see your wife more and to spend more time with your daughters:) Love Ya, Sherry.

    p.s. Your family Is BEAUTIFUL:) :)

    This song depicts exactly how I feel about the situation my wife and I are currently going through. She is my best friend, lover and simply just my everything. I was served the divorce papers this morning and heard the song as soon as I was driving to work. I still love and need her every moment of everyday and that's why this hurts the most.

    this song really described how i felt for a while.
    me and my boyfriend were agruing for like a straight week and a half, every single night. it was so bad, and i just wanted to give up. im in love with him and i couldnt do that. we both had to keep trying, and keep trying.
    we worked it all out, and we are perfect again.
    i love you baby!:)
