Well my woman, she showed up With your 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 son, yeah
Well he showed up down at the ballroom Walking slow and acting strong Well I said my friend I'll give you one last chance To admit that you done me wrong
You better tell me the truth son, yeah You better tell me the truth son, 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 game All the sheriff said to me was this...
You better tell me the truth, son I'ma beat it out of you You better tell me the truth, son I'ma 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 girl's hand To remind you not to forget
You should'a told me the truth, son Make me beat it out of you You should'a told me the truth, son Make me beat it out of you You should'a tole me the truth, son Oh...
Make me beat it outta you Make me beat it outta you Make me beat it Make me beat it Make me beat it Make me beat it out of you
Look up child The world is born Shoe's untied And your soles are worn Windows are rolled down Sun is setting high Windows are rolled down I'm fixin' to die
Corn rows have companion feel This rocky road and this steering wheel Who do you call to ease your pain I hope for you to get through this rain Windows are rolled down Moon is hanging low Windows are rolled down Think it's time for me to
Is it what you dreamed it'd be Are you locked up in this fantasy Oh this miles that torn us apart My new found faith and my broken heart Windows are rolled down Sun is rising high Windows are rolled down Feel that wind rushing by
Well all my friends treated me so well You know I'm headed out to that Mission Bell Gonna wash my soul, gonna get it clean Heading down the border road called the El Camino
Well I've been a prince and you know I've been a post By a barb wire fence and a murder of crows I believe in all I've loved and all I have seen Heading down the border road called the El Camino Heading down the border road called the El Camino
Yeah my hearts grown sick, I've got a shepherds crook as a walking stick And I'm heading on. My hearts gone blue and I've done wrong by you I don't know what to do But I'm moving on, said I'm moving on
One and one is two, two and two is four I'm walking back and forth On your cracked tiled kitchen floor With the orange juice and the sun that shines It really breaks my heart leaving you behind, It really breaks my heart leaving you behind
And all my ships have sailed away The price of this politic, That there's plenty of time to prayer And plenty of time to waste away.
Well to all my friends, that I've loved the most You know I'm heading out to that other coast I'm going to wash my soul, and I'm gonna get it clean Heading down the border road, called the El Camino, Heading down the border road, called the El Camino.
Lately I, I've been heading for a breakdown Every time I leave my house It feels just like a shake down Between street sweepers and the pushers are the lawyers Who may as well be butchers Between the small timing hustlers who all, seem to feed upon each other [Chorus] Oh God why you been Hanging out in that ol' violin While I've been waiting for you, to pull me through Lately I, every time I try to lie down Well my mind just gets away I can't even close my eyes now Between the big fish ambition, and the lovers Using words as ammunition Between wood planks I've been pacing endless Impossible dream that I've been chasing [Chorus]
When I look into your clear blue eyes, I could cry, I could cry. When I think of what they?ve put you through, You know it tears me up inside.
Left alone in your darkest night, By the one you trustiest most. How come they expect you to, Be such a gratuitous host
When you look upon that heart of shame Now I have to face, All these accusations and questions that are ? your disgrace
Now you are left in the darkest night By the ones you trust the most But now just follow blind ambition Like a promise of unknown costs
When I look into your clear blue eyes I could cry, I could cry When I think of what they put you through You know it tears me up inside You know it tears me up inside You know it tears me up inside
