Songwriter: John Mellencamp

I always lie to strangers
I always lie to people I may know
There'll be no church bells chiming for me
No contest is my only plea
Call me anything you like
I would never disagree
I always lie to strangers

I've never taken the high road home
The old low road seems to get me there fast
High or low it's all the same
Living by your world is a sucker's game
And I'm used to taking all the blame
Can't bother taking that high road home
And I always lie to strangers

I always lie to strangers
I am a man of low dеgree
This world is run by men
Much more crooked than mе

And as far as I can see
I don't trust you
And you shouldn't trust me
I always lie to strangers
Because I always lie to strangers
