An Honest Con Man

Fair to Midland, Darroh Sudderth

[Verse 1]
It's highway robbery, and I have my receipts
The skeletons I meet say they lay on their back
Just to pave our way
Right back to the starting gate

They run circles around, the king without a crown
The speechless make a sound
And start spreading their love with a boxing glove
What would you expect from us?

[Chorus]
Believe it, believe it, believe it
Let's let you carry the weight of a drifter
We doubt you've attempted
Believe it, believe it, believe it
And push your luck if it makes you a promise
That turns con men honest

[Verse 2]
The lap of luxury is not a mercy seat
The skeletons I meet say they lay on their backs
Just to lead the way
Right into the everglades

They thank their lucky stars, and lose them in the cards
Cowards are in charge and they're painting their trust with
A coat of rust
What did you expect from us?

[Chorus]
Believe it, believe it, believe it
Let's let you carry the weight of a drifter
We doubt you've attempted
Believe it, believe it, believe it

[Bridge]
And push your luck if it makes you a promise
That turns con men honest
And these days you're raking it in but forget
That regret is counting the cards in your hand
And these days they probably have to ask themselves
What did you expect from us?

[Chorus]
Believe it, believe it, believe it
Let's let you carry the weight of a drifter
We doubt you've attempted
Believe it, believe it, believe it

[Outro]
And push your luck if it makes you a promise
That turns con men honest
