I knew this lady from Tennessee
|
Moved to California, didn't stay with me.
|
Just packed a bag and left with me passed out.
|
Never could believe a word that come from her mouth.
|
|
She told me once, drunk on wine.
|
She'd be beside me 'till the end of time.
|
But the end of time came early at my house.
|
Never could believe a word that come from her mouth.
|
|
There weren't no truth in a word that lil' girl said.
|
Only time she didn't lie to me was rolling in the big old bed.
|
|
She worked real hard every day
|
But old fame and fortune never came her way
|
It just slid on by like springtime in the south.
|
Never could believe a word that come from her mouth.
|
|
She came back home on a Trailways bus.
|
Stole a pack of Camels for the both of us.
|
She crawled right up to the front door of my house.
|
Never could believe a word that comes from her mouth.
|
|
There weren't no truth in a word that lil' girl said.
|
Only time she didn't lie to me was rolling in the big old bed.
|
|
