I had known of Big Kenny long before his Big and Rich days because Evan and I have been singing a song he wrote called "Contemplating" for over a decade, but never had the pleasure of meeting him.
About six weeks ago a friend introduced us and it's hard for me to believe I haven't known him for years. He's quickly become a confidant and a mentor to me. We share a passion for music, a love of people and a penchant for good wine.
So Big Kenny and I got to talking and I mentioned that I had an idea for a song called "Beautiful Lies." Before I could even finish my sentence he grabbed his guitar and began belting out "Lie to me, oh lie to me..." (the chorus you hear).
Not wasting anytime or wanting to stop his flow, I grabbed my guitar and in no time we were midway thru the song.
In nearly every songwriting session there is one person who leads and the other person(s) follow and play a more supportive role. Big Kenny was the driver on this one and I love that I have been able to add a piece of his stylings to my performance.
All artists are an amalgamation of the artists they love... I'm happy to add some more Big Kenny to my mix.
Featuring my boy Jimmy "Flash" Dulin on the drums.

Lyrics:
Though I'm fully aware, of your desperate despair
I'm charmed by the words that you say
Even though I know you'd never dare tell the truth
I'm seduced by your meaningless praise
And I could sit here and listen for days
As you
Lie to me, oh lie to me
Tell me that you love me one more time
Just lie to me, oh lie to me
I love your beautiful lies
Your beautiful lies
Just watching you speak so obliviously
I know it's wrong but I'm laughing inside
Cause I just pretend to believe my friend
as you compliment me with your lies
It's just so fun to watch you try
So just
Lie to me, oh lie to me
Tell me that you love me one more time
Just lie to me, oh lie to me
I love your beautiful lies
Your beautiful lies
And someday when you realize
You're still all alone and so screwed up inside
I hope that I'm there
when you find the only person who cares
God bless you
Lie to me, oh lie to me
Tell me that you love me one more time
Lie to me, oh lie to me
I still love your beautiful lies
Your beautiful lies
Your beautiful lies
Though I'm fully aware, of your desperate despair
I'm still charmed by the words that you say

Meanings of songs should be left to the listener to decide. Having that said, I will give you my perspective as the writer.
Ever been in a relationship that you know is wrong for you but can't get out because you're too afraid of being alone or if you'll find anyone again? So you stay and you "love" that person and you let them continue to mistreat or take advantage of you and you're only solace is that someday fate will catch up with them. And that's pleasing enough to ask for more lies.
