The Truth

[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!"
