Shane Owens releases new single “LIE”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 5, 2018) —Unwavering and determined, Amerimonte Records recording artist Shane Owens is geared up for his single “LIE,” which released digitally last week and impacts radio on April 30th. 

Billboard hosted an exclusive debut of the behind the scenes video for the tongue in cheek song and an exclusive sneak peek by Nashville Noise of the tune. “LIE” is available to download and on all streaming digital platforms.

“Lie is one of my favorite songs on the new album because it is simply one of those songs everyone can relate to. Not only is it humorous, but people really enjoy it,” said Shane Owens. “It really is an awful way to get a girl, but sometimes you have to tell a little lie to get her attention.”

Billboard Magazine wrote: “Fans of traditional country music have long been awaiting the arrival of an artist who just might bring back those sounds to the airwaves. If he has his way, Alabama newcomer Shane Owens will be leading that charge.”

Shane’s humorous, tongue-in-cheek aspect takes on the role of a “wingman” for a pal in the new single. It kicks off with a screamin’ guitar lick and pounding drums. A definite driver of a track with tons of groove and high energy, it sets the stage for a “night on the town” feel – and descends into a Saturday Night Live-worthy romp from there. Two guys, a pretty gal and a world of tone-deaf advice equal a blast of a record that pokes humor at the foolishness of men.

LIE Lyrics

A buddy of mine

Sweetest guy in the world

Always had a hard time

Gettin the girl

So I sat him down one night

And told him what to do

This is what you do man

Step one

You gotta get out of town

Two

Hit up the best bar around

Three, find the prettiest girl you can find

And buy her a drink

And look her right in the eye

And LIE

LIE like hell

Say you’re feeling something that you ain’t never felt

Inside

And you ain’t never done this

There’s just something about her

That you can’t resist

And if she asks you is this just for one night

LIE

Tell her she reminds you of momma

You don’t play games

And you ain’t got time for drama

You’re just out here looking for

Something real

And then she rolls her eyes

And says whatever

Have a backup plan

Something bigger and better

Like you’ve really got a lot of love to give

But you only got two days to live

And LIE

LIE like hell

Say you’re feeling something that you ain’t never felt

Inside And you ain’t never done this

There’s just something about her 

That you can’t resist

An d if she asks if you’re the cuddling kind

Hell, LIE

Tell her you and Kenny Chesney

Are best buddies

And you’re daddy’s the one

Who invented the snuggie

Whatever it takes

Take it from me

Tell her anything you think she’ll believe

And LIE

LIE like hell

Say you’re feeling something that you ain’t never felt

Inside And you ain’t never done this

There’s just something about her

That you can’t resist

And if she asks you is this just for one night

LIE

Just LIE

Man it’s bound to work sometime
