[Verse 1]
I think that momma's drinkin' again
There's a sparkle in her eye
And how I love to see her laughin'
Oh do I
God knows I've prayed for that smile
She got a suite at the new hotel downtown
That ain't something she does
And tried me call me out of the blue and act like
That was someone she was
[Pre-Chorus]
But you can't fool your own blood
[Chorus]
You can lie to a liar
Go ahead and flame the fire
Burn down everything you love
You can steal from a thief
I'll act like I believe
But you can't fool your own blood
[Verse 2]
And I know roads that I don't walk down
I don't walk down, not no morе
They take me placеs I don't wanna go
Don't wanna go again
But now and then I take a wrong turn
And then the lost highway claims me its own
I've got a voice in my head tells me it's fine no matter what it does
Got a broken compass in my pocket it's telling me where it is I come from
[Pre-Chorus]
But you can't fool your own blood
[Chorus]
You can lie to a liar
Go ahead and flame the fire
And burn down everything you love
You can steal from a thief
I'll act like I believe
But you can't fool your own blood
[Instrumental Break]
Ooh, ooh, oh
[Chorus / Outro]
Momma, you can lie to a liar
Go ahead and flame the fire
And burn down everything you love
You can steal from a thief
I'll act like I believe
But you can't fool your own blood
No, no you can't fool
No, you can't fool
You can't fool your own blood
