What You See Lyrics

I bought a dark blue 1982 Southwind Fleetwood

Only Cost a grand but the whole damn band could sleep good

I rolled it through the rockies before the transmission went

On the side of the road in San Angelo I gave up on it

It wasn't all I thought it'd be

I let my eyes play tricks on me

Sure Looked good in the pictures

Now a picture's all that I got left

What you see ain't always what you get

I bought a quarter carat riding on a gold band

I thought it would fit perfect on her left hand

She said yes then she said no then she said goodbye

And if you wanna find that diamond it's doing pawn shop time

It wasn't all I thought it'd be

I let my eyes play tricks on me

Sure looked good in the pictures

Now a picture's all that I got left

What you see ain't always what you get

Started out, down this road with the big plans that I made

Watched that RV, you and me fade away

Oh I look around and back around and ahead again

And I think about how easy this all could have been

But if it all worked out how I had it all worked out

I wouldn't be here singing to you about it right now

It wasn't all I thought it'd be

I let my eyes play tricks on me

Sure Looked good in the pictures

Now a picture's all that I got left

What you see ain't always what you get

What you see ain't always what you get
