[Intro]
Down in Missouri, shadows cast long and deep
Secrets and whispers, secrets we keep
[Verse 1]
He was my best friend, we rode through the night
Shared all our dreams under the moonlight
But then I found out, he was hiding a lie
Cheater in the darkness, I can't believe my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
He played me for fools, he played me for a fool
Trust turned to dust, now I know the rule
[Chorus]
Oh, Missouri, you saw it all
Heartbreaks and betrayals, answers in the tall
We thought we were solid, thought we were true
Now I see through the lies you spew
[Bridge]
Running down the river, trying to forget
Friendship turned to fury, placing my bet
On honesty and truth, on love that's real
Betrayal's bitter, wounds that won't heal
[Outro]
Missouri, my witness and my friend
This lesson was hard, but it's not the end
