You and I went out with a few of my old friends They started tellin' stories about me way back when Well I could tell by the look on your face you didn't know All about my wilder days, that was a long, long time ago Well it's sad but true All the things I used to do It's no secret, I'm no saint I've been around a time or two Well it's sad but true All the things I used to do I just can't lie about my past It's sad, girl it's sad but true With each and every story, I saw the droppin' of your jaw They brought up my exes and my troubles with the law Well I hate to admit it girls, but every word is true All that stuff, it was long before I met you Well it's sad but true All the things I used to do It's no secret, I'm no saint I've been around a time or two Well it's sad but true All the things I used to do I just can't lie about my past It's sad, girl it's sad but true Well it's sad but true All the things I used to do I'd go out drinkin' every night And close the bars at two Well it's sad but true All the things I used to do I just can't lie about my past It's sad, girl it's sad but true
