E
I've never been in prison.
                          A
I don't know much about trains.
My favorite singer, cooks my breakfast.
E          F#                     B
I like her fancy and I like her plain.
         E
I love bright and flashing colors,
                            D
like hot pink and Dresden blue.

Chorus:
            E      A         E
But if they ask me if it's true?
         B
That I still love you,
                E
I'll say it's true.

E
I'd be happy in a mansion,
or in an old rundown shotgun shack.
A
I like the feel of silk and satin.
E            F#                  B7
So, I don't know why I wear black.
E
I love New York City,
                          A
Bet your cowgirl boots I do.

Chorus

A               B
I'll say it's true.
           E
So, don't let it bother you.
              A                    E
Just let them old tales all stay twisted.
       F#                       B
I will set them straight about you.

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

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 on you.

        E
I got plans to keep right on singing.
And I do know; Emmylou.

But if they ask me if it's true?
That I still love you,
I'll say it's true.
