[Verse 1] You told that lie for years - wanting to see her crying tears Painted her in shame tried everything to paint her in your own daughters shame Talked about a broken life which was your daughters own saddening story Then dragged her name trying to recapture your parenting glory!! Said she lived in the dark as she grew up in Avon Park you lied - said she lost her way - but she always did good things for her community everyday It ain't true no matter what you say But your own house got secrets You tried so very hard to stash away!! Your daughter on the same road Same story you spun about a great woman Same late-night promises taking funds from all those men for doing those nasty things with all of them - same empty soul running to get them drugs again!! And that’s the part that bites That’s the part that stings When the mirror hits your porch And truth starts singin’ [Pre-Chorus] You point one finger Four come back You sold that story hard Now the facts attack [Chorus] Laurie’s lies, she really tried!! Round and round they go Laurie’s lies, but they never cried Can’t hide what we all know You blamed the world But the truth won’t die Laurie’s lies, the real truth cannot hide Her own daughter voided Lauries parenting prize!! (Laurie’s lies) (Laurie’s lies) [Verse 2] If your girl’s out lost Who raised that flame? Who taught her how to fall Then call it someone else’s shame? Was it lesson by lesson Or silence in the hall? Was it clean-up after chaos Then pretend you saw it all? You wore that righteous face Like it made you wise But the home you called a safe place Was built on crooked lies Now you want the blame To land on another name But the child became the headline And you’re the one in frame [Pre-Chorus] You talk real loud But the cracks show through You can’t rewrite blood When the truth cuts through [Chorus] Laurie’s lies, Laurie’s lies Round and round they go Laurie’s lies, Laurie’s lies Can’t hide what we all know You blamed the world But the truth won’t die Laurie’s lies, Laurie’s lies Ain’t no parenting prize (Laurie’s lies) (Yeah, Laurie’s lies) [Bridge] Banjo pickin’ in the wreckage Fiddle crying low Steel guitar tellin’ on you Where the bad seeds grow You can dress it up pretty You can talk all night But the daughter tells the story And it don’t sound right [Final Chorus] Laurie’s lies, Laurie’s lies Round and round they go Laurie’s lies, Laurie’s lies Can’t hide what we all know You blamed the world But the truth won’t die Laurie’s lies, Laurie’s lies Ain’t no parenting prize (Laurie’s lies) (Laurie’s lies) (Ain’t no parenting prize)
