  • Hey, white liar
    Truth comes out a little at a time
    And it spreads just like a fire
    Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
    And I don't know why, white liar

    You better be careful what you do
    I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes
    If they ever found you out
    You better be careful what you say
    It never really added up anyway
    I got friends in this town

    Hey, white liar
    Truth comes out a little at a time
    And it spreads just like a fire
    Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
    And I don't know why, white liar

    You said you went out to a bar
    And walked some lady to her car
    But your face has more to tell
    'Cause my cousin saw you on the street
    With a red head named Bernice
    Turns out you don't lie too well

    Hey, white liar
    Truth comes out a little at a time
    And it spreads just like a fire
    Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
    And I don't know why, white liar

    Here's a bombshell just for you
    Turns out I've been lying too

    Now I'm the white liar
    Truth comes out a little at a time
    And it spreads just like a fire
    Slips off of my tongue like turpentine
    And I don't know why

  • Camille from Toronto, OhOmg. I wondered why that guy always looked so familiar to me. Jamey Johnson!!!! Honest, I never realized that was him and now I love the video a gazillion times more. His song "In Color" is one of my all time favorite songs...it is one of the most amazingly written and sung songs of all time. Oh, thanks for that bit of trivia!
  • Jason from Ogallala, NeNice video too, i like Jamey Johnson's appearance as the preacher. She's becoming my favorite female country singer.
  • Camille from Toronto, OhMiranda Lambert's best song. The guitar playing is absolutely beautiful and her voice mixes incredibly with the tune. Just love it.
