We judge by appearances too much... life teaches you that can be a BIG mistake.

Story behind the song
Appearances can be deceptive.... here are just three characters from life's rich pageant to prove my point.
Lyrics
Nothing is as it Seems J.J. stowed his fiddle next to his C.B. And drove off from the truckstop, humming to his C.D. He'd played "Old Joe Clark" for the boys that night, But Brahms for himself when they were out of sight, He'd got a duet to play with his father when he got home. Not every trucker's a redneck, nor every whisky a rye, Not every man who walks the path of God Can look you in the eye. Not every teacher can teach you, Not every nightmare's a dream. Behind every face there is another face - Nothing is as it seems. Alice works at the salad bar of a burger joint, She'd been a small town teacher, till the fingers began to point. She wears long black sleeves to cover up the scars, And although she works out by the lakeside bars, A photograph is the only thing that shares her bed. David keeps on moving from state to state, When anyone gets to him he feels the need to relocate. He tells himself he doesn't need no friends, He says he knows how all of the stories end, And "Happy ever after" is never true for him.
