Notes in intro With his head out the sunroof, and his heart in the right place Plan 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. Its a semi-true story, believe it or not. I made up a few things and there's some I for-got. But the life and the tellin' are both real to me And they all run together and turn out to be, A semi true story Intro with notes Well the picture is fuzzy and the details are sordid. It was on the same day "God's Own Drunk" was recorded. A walkin' tall sheriff and big cadillac, And me in my golf shoes on the hood makin' tracks, This darin' young singer was under attack. Chorus Its a semi-true story, believe it or not. I made up a few things and there's some I for-got. But the life and the tellin' are both real to me And they all run together and turn out to be, A semi true story Bridge Well the things That I've lived and I've dreamed and I've seen, and I've heard You take the good with the bad and be glad to have every word Last Chorus Its a semi-true story, believe it or not. I made up a few things and there's some I for-got. But the life and the tellin' are both real to me And they run like the rain all the way to the sea, A semi true story --- Outro same as Intro (twice)
