Drink, Swear, Steal & Lie Lyrics - John Michael Montgomery

I was twelve when daddy said to me 

Don't take to drinkin boy that road don't lead nowhere 

And don't you ever let me hear you swear 

Don't you dare 

He told me stealing is a lazy man's way 

Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay 

So don't lie, then you can look the whole world in the eye 

Honey I've tried 

But since I've met you girl I'm breakin every rule 

I must confess I'm just a backsliding fool 

CHORUS: 

I want to drink from your loving cup 

Swear I'll never give you up 

Steal all your kisses underneath the moon 

I want to lie here close to you 

Look what you make me do 

Darlin you're the reason why 

I drink, swear, steal and lie 

Last night I threw away your twelve step book 

I finally faced the fact that I am hooked on you 

There's nothing more that I can do 

Ain't no use 

Cause every time I see your angel face 

My anger disappears without a trace 

I swear, girl I admit I haven't got a prayer 

But I don't care 

Well I know this ain't exactly how I was raised 

But heaven help me honey, I ain't changing my ways 

REPEAT CHORUS (2 x's) 

Drink, swear, steal, lie
