The story behind the song

"Alibis" finds a man reflecting on a relationship that has endured his missteps and shortcomings. He acknowledges the pain he's caused, recognizing that his partner has seen through every excuse and every move because of past hurts. Released in 1993 as the title track from Tracy Lawrence's album Alibis, the song became his second number one country hit. It's a candid look at the resilience of love when one person has made their own way through repeated disappointments.
