Lyrics Laying Here Lying in Bed - Bobby Bare

Yes, my wedding band is just too loose to hold me
'Cause it slips off my finger now and then
Especially when I'm laying here with Anna in my arms
Lord, I find it's gettin' harder to pretend

'Cause Anna just don't know how much I'm married
If she did, I'm sure she'd want to die
But what she doesn't know, I guess won't hurt her anymore
So I lay right here and tell her one more lie (didn't I?)

Laying here, lying in bed
I know what she wants to hear, so that's what will be said
The truth would only hurt her, so I'll tell a lie instead
Laying here, lying in bed

When I get home, I'll kiss the tie that binds me
'Cause he's the apple of his daddy's eye
If his mom awakes and asks me where I've been and if I love her
Lord, I'll have to tell another lie, again tonight

Laying there, lying in bed
I know what they ought to hear, so that's what will be said
The truth would only hurt them, so I'll tell a lie instead
Laying there, lying in bed
I'll be laying there, lying in bed
