Written by Merle Haggard

Mirrors don't lie, a mirror won't lie

So don't be lookin' if you can't stand to see

Mirrors don't lie, a mirror won't lie

I know it's so 'cause one just told the truth on me.

Facing the music won't be easy

Cause wine and roses leave a jagged scar

I thought I knew just where to quit and draw the line

But today I know for sure I've gone too far

Mirrors don't lie, a mirror won't lie

So don't be lookin' if you can't stand to see

Mirrors don't lie, a mirror won't lie

I know it's so 'cause one just told the truth on me

Now tracing my footsteps won't be easy

Cause wine and roses leave a clouded mind

I never worried about much about night before

Cause the morning after left me nearly blind

Mirrors don't lie, a mirror won't lie

So don't be lookin' if you can't stand to see

Mirrors don't lie, a mirror won't lie

I know it's so 'cause one just told the truth on me

I know it's so 'cause one just told the truth on me
