Honesty Is No Excuse

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Up till now, I used to pass my time Drinkin' beer so slowly, sometimes wine No God, air, water, or sunshine [Refrain] And honesty was my only excuse I took your love and I used it [Verse 2] Up till now, my youthful stage Was a useless rage, a torn out page, a worn out gauge A dirty shade, a big charade, a has-been made [Refrain] And honesty was my only excuse I took your love and I used it [Bridge] Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah [Guitar Solo] I never knew, I never knew, I never knew [Verse 3] Up till now, my love life A few sweet kisses, a little missy, a fork and knife A happy home, a hand to hold, a land to roam [Refrain] And honesty was my only excuse I used to take life by the hand and I abused it [Bridge] Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah [Verse 4] Up till now, I used to tap dance Take a girl by the hand Say "I need ya, I need your romance" Oh, I had me some chances [Refrain] And honesty was my only excuse I used to take your love and I'd abuse it [Bridge] Yeah Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah Oh, yeah [Verse 5] Up till now, the path of life Was fair enough Enough was fair, all was right And now I know, I see the light [Refrain] And honesty, oh, my greatest excuse
