"Somebody Lied" is a country music song written by Joe Chambers and Larry Jenkins. First recorded by Conway Twitty on his 1985 album Don't Call Him a Cowboy, it was later recorded by American country music singer Ricky Van Shelton. Shelton's version was released in July 1987 as the third single from his debut album Wild-Eyed Dream, as well as Shelton's first number-one single on the Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart.[2]
Some notable similarities exist between this version and a song titled "Funny How Time Slips Away" written by Willie Nelson and first recorded by country singer Billy Walker in 1961, and later by Elvis Presley in 1970.
