I’ll Say It’s True Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've never been in prison
I don't know much about trains
My favorite singer cooks my breakfast
I like her fancy and I like her plain
I love bright and flashing colors
Like hot pink and Dresden blue

[Chorus 1]
But if they ask me if it's true
That I still love you, I'll say it's true

[Verse 2]
I'd be happy in a mansion
Or in an old rundown shotgun shack
I like the feel of silk and satin
So I don't know why I wear black
I love New York City
Bet your cowgirl boots I do

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
I'll say it's true
So don't let it bother you
Just let them old tales all stay twisted
I will set them straight about you
[Verse 3]
I have not been in the army
I'm an Indian from years ago
When they ask if I know Waylon
I tell them, I think so
I do not plan on retiring
From anything I do

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Bridge]
I got plans to keep right on singing
And I do know Emmylou

[Chorus 1]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
