[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
