The Weight of Lies, The Truth Don't Stop: Ballads for Don Gillispie and AEHI

A musical interlude, inspired by Don Gillispie and Alternate Energy Holdings.

The Avett Brothers' "The Weight of Lies" and Dr. Dog's "The Truth Don't Stop"



Disappear from your hometown
Go and find the people that you know
Show them all your good parts
Leave town when bad ones start to show
Go and wed a woman
A pretty girl that you've never met
Make sure she knows you love her well
But don't make any other promises

The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
Cause nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
So when you run, make sure you run
To something and not away from
Cause lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere

I once heard the worst thing 
A man could do is draw a hungry crowd
Tell everyone his name with pride, and confidence
But leaving out his doubt
I'm not sure I bought those words
When I was young I knew most everything
These words have never met so much to anyone
As they now mean to me

The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
Cause nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
So when you run make sure you run
To something and not away from
Cause lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you down





The truth don’t stop
It makes you move
Round and round
Like the moon
It’s coming down
The truth don’t stop
It’s really coming
The truth don’t stop
It’s falling hard
The truth don’t stop
Another day
The truth don’t stop
Thunder and lightning
The devil’s done
I paid my dues
But he just won’t quit
He don’t like to lose
It’s coming down
The truth don’t stop
It’s really coming
The truth don’t stop
It’s falling hard
The truth don’t stop
Another day
The truth don’t stop
Thunder and lightning
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
