You look so good on the outside
I told a lie to my heart
But you're so bad on the inside girl
I knew that right from the start

And now my life is just a sad melody
A story told in hillbilly poetry
I never heard no lonesome whistle whine
A steel guitar never made me cry
And all I need now is a white cadillac
A fifth of whiskey I could drink in the back
It's been a long time since I saw the light
I'm just a song hank williams forgot to write

If I was fool enough to love you
I won't be strong enough to find
A way to ever really leave you
And I'm so lonesome I could cry
