Ricky Van Shelton - Somebody Lied

"Somebody Lied” by Ricky Van Shelton
Listen to Ricky Van Shelton: RickyVanShelton.lnk.to/hitsYD
"Somebody Lied"
was written by Joe Chambers and Larry Jenkins, and was Shelton's first single to make it to #1 on the Hot Country Songs chart. The song landed on Ricky's debut album Wild-Eyed Dream in 1987, but that was not the song's debut; "Somebody Lied" was first recorded and released by Conway Twitty, in 1985.

Lyrics:
You heard what?
Well it ain't true
I was here most all last night
I got over you the day you left
Could it be somebody lied
They said what?
That I was cryin'?
I haven't shed a tear in years
That I spoke your name?
Well that's insane
I hardly noticed your not here
That I showed your picture
To some stranger
Don't you think I got no pride
They've been here at home
Face down on a shelf
Lord I bet somebody lied
But if they were true
What would it matter to you?
Would it change the way you feel?
If the rumors were right
Would you be here tonight?
To help this old heart heal
Well don't worry
It wasn't me
Just someone who's world
Was torn in two
Someone who looks a lot like me
And loves someone like you
So forget the tears
I never cried
Lord I bet somebody lied

I met Ricky Van Shelton in 1986. I had just moved to Universal City, Texas to work at Randolph AFB (North San Antonio) in March 1986, so it was sometime shortly after March. Ricky was at a K-Mart store for meet and greet, or let's say more like out for promotional purposes. At that time, he was literally new and barely starting out and not really known at the time. Ricky was a genuinely nice man. Too bad the music industry destroyed him for no good reason. He has that perfect country singing voice and I just love his music.
