Tell em all I'm on vacation,

Say I went to visit friends,

Just don't tell em all the truth,
G5 D5
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 something 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,
(Chorus)
C5 G5
The truth is that I'm asking you to lie,
D5 C5
