“When you listen to a podcast called ‘Dirty John’ and realize it’s a parallel to your own life, shit gets real. It took a while to finally feel ready to write this one, and hopefully I can just let the song speak for itself. It’s my armour song of late.”
- Exclaim
[Verse 1]
Love is blind
Whoever bought that line must be a real sucker
They made a movie about someone else
A warning sign, but I went out
There's a run in the rug, a pull in my sweater
Something true was in that letter
Loose ends you never tied
Now I know it was all a lie
[Chorus]
'Cause you know how to spend my money
You know how to spin a story
You know how to take me for a fool's ride in the country
Oh...
[Verse 2]
Love at first sight
Whoever bought that line wasn't listening
To the first thing you ever said to me about retiring
'Cause the bill I paid for my birthday dinner
The bill I paid every winter
Boxes and bills on the basement floor
I don't believe you anymore
[Chorus]
'Cause you know how to spend my money
You know how to spin a story
You know how to take me for a fool's ride in the country
[Verse 3]
Love saves the day
Here comes a red flag flying in the shit parade
A warning sign that I ignored
Signed my good name to a house you can't afford
There's a run in the rug, a pull in my sweater
Something true was in that letter
Loose ends you never tied
Now I know it was all a lie
[Chorus]
And you know how to spend my money
You know how to spin a story
You know how to take me for a fool's ride in the country
[Outro]
And everything you ever said was half true at best
You know how to take me for a fool's ride
Oh...
