    With his head out the sunroof
    And his heart in the right place
    Plan b was foolproof
    He drove off to her place
    He 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

    It's a semi-true story
    Believe it or not
    I made up a few things
    And there's some I forgot
    But the life and the telling
    Are both real to me
    And they all run together
    And turn out to be
    A semi-true story

    Well the picture is fuzzy
    And the details are sorted
    It was on the same day that god's own drunk was recorded
    A walking tall sheriff and a big cadillac
    And me and golf shoes on the hood making tracks
    This daring young singer was under attack

    It's a semi-true story
    Believe it or not
    I made up a few things
    And there's some I forgot
    But the life and the telling
    Are both real to me
    And they all run together
    And turn out to be
    A semi-true story

    Well the things that I've lived
    And I've dreamed
    And I've seen
    And I've heard
    You'll take the good with the bad
    And be glad that every word

    It's a semi-true story
    Believe it or not
    I made up a few things
    And there's some I forgot
    But the life and the telling
    Are both real to me
    And they run like the rain
    All the way to the sea
