Here is a Western Swing song that has been in the works for a while. I took this back down to drums and bass several times before I finally got it right. Janice came up with the melody and has laid down another of her signature vocal tracks. We welcome all comments/suggestions. Thanks, Tom

Bloodshot Lies

I don’t think that I ask too much just a little honesty

I’ve been good for you now Baby and you’ve been good for me

I’ll need cooperation if this is going to work

If you ask me nice I’ll tell the truth you’ve been a first class jerk


I took one look at you last night it’s enough to make me scream

i’m making myself crazy trying to find you some visine

You said that you’d been cryin wiping tears from your eyes

You can’t hide behind those bloodshot lies


i havent heard you sneezing so it cant be allergies

The least you could do is to tell the truth as a simple courtesy

don’t think that you can turn your head to hide the whiskey on your breath

Man you better close those eyes before you bleed half to death


i took one look at you last night it’s enough to make me scream

i’m making myself crazy trying to find you some visine

You said that you’d been cryin wiping tears from your eyes

You can’t hide behind those bloodshot lies


Webster’s called to let me know i used too many words

trying to get through to you This is so absurd

how can i still love you after all that you have done

i’ll give you one last chance to prove that you are still the one

i took one look at you last night it’s enough to make me scream
i’m making myself crazy trying to find you some visine
You said that you’d been cryin wiping tears from your eyes
You can’t hide behind those bloodshot lies
