Guilty As Can Be Lyrics

Verse I
Once I had me a woman and everything was goin' my way, she thought I had hung the moon and she
had an angels face, till one night I pulled in my drive and somethin was
goin' on, there was a long bed ford in my spot that I damn sure didn't own---- well I walked up to the screen door an I heard this awful noise,
I moved onto the livin' room and there set my two boys I said wheres mama an they both pointed to the bedroom down the hall
. I aint never been a fightin man but red was all I saw...
Chorus:
You see brother cause I've been down
an I've been out an I know how it feels to stand up for what you think is right
an get knocked off your heels, an if
murderin a man who didn't understand
just what she meant to me means I'll
rot here in this cell for eternity, Well
then Mr. I am as guilty as can be.
Verse II (Same as Verse I)
Well I wish I had me a picture of what his face looked like
When I Kicked in my bedroom door and raised my .45
I Said I aint the kind to hurt a woman an I hope you understand
but somebodies got to die today son it looks like you're the man
Chorus II:
You see brother cause I've been down
an I've been out an I know how it feels to stand up for what you think is right
an get knocked off your heels, an if
murderin a man who didn't understand
just what she meant to me means I'll
rot here in this cell for eternity, Well
then Mr. I am as guilty as can be.
Verse III (Same as Verse 1)
That's what I told that Jury That's what I told that judge
An I knew there'd be hell to pay if I fulfilled my grudge
see I don't my these prison bars tucked off in these pine trees
One thing about that ol' cheatin' woman she won't cheat again on me
Chorus III/Outro:
You see brother cause I've been down
an I've been out an I know how it feels to stand up for what you think is right
an get knocked off your heels, an if
murderin a man who didn't understand
just what she meant to me means I'll
rot here in this cell for eternity, Well
then Mr. I am as guilty as can be.
Go ahead and lock me up boys I'm guilty anyway...
