Well my woman, she showed up
with some number on her hand
Well I thought that I might call you up
so we could deal with this man to man.
You better tell me the truth sir
Well I showed up down at the bar room
walkin slow and actin strong
Well I said my friend I give you one last chance to admit that you done me wrong
You better tell me the truth sir, yeah
You better tell me the truth sir, yeah
Now they got me here, in the county
With his blood still on my face
Well the boys in blue they don't play no games
all the sheriff said to me was this
You better tell me the truth sir
I'm gonna beat it out of you
You better tell me the truth sir
I'm gonna beat it out of you
Now they got me here, in the lockdown
for a crime I did commit
Well for my last call, I called the number on my girls hand to remind you not to forget
You should have told me the truth sir
Made me beat it out of you
You should have told me the truth sir
Made me beat it out of you
You should have told me the truth sir
oh... Made me beat it out of you
Made me beat it out of you
