The Truth

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She gets up with her head swung low down Steps into the room She says; "Please listen while I sing my song to you 'Cuz it all slips away and it ends too soon" [Pre-Chorus] "How in the hell did I get here? Let me tell you all why I sing the blues Been in a daze for ten years But I still can sing the truth" [Chorus] Heaven knows where we all go When all we have is what we get And when it's gone, when will I know? Because I haven't got it yet Because I haven't got it yet Haven't got it yet [Verse 2] Swayin' to the swing of the music Her arms wave in the air She turns her head, our eyes make contact It lets me know I'm there Right there, now [Pre-Chorus] "How in the hell did I get here?" I'd still hear her cry the blues Been in a daze for ten years And she still can sing the truth [Chorus] Heaven knows where we all go When all we have is what we get And when it's gone, when will I know? Because I haven't got it yet Heaven knows where we all go When all we have is what we get And when it's gone, where does it go? Because I haven't found it yet [Bridge] Did you find that ride? Did you finally fly? While I sat there, kickin' and bitchin' Sayin' "gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme what's mine" I thought I had it all, I wanted more, no need for you I slammed the door, I cut you loose What are the chances that I'd walk in here and find the truth? [Solo] [Chorus] [Outro (Spoken)] "Of all the Gin joints in the world I had to walk into this one And there she was Those big eyes, that big voice And the truth And nothin' but the truth Well, maybe a few other things Say like, you know, great bare legs And that ass... OW MAN! But I left it all behind me Like Yogi says; 'Deja Vu all over again' Well, let's see if she'll talk to me, or Just blow me off See ya later Waiter, check please!"
