Johnny Cash - That's The Truth lyrics

rate me

Saw a girl in Tampa I asked her for a date

She said baby I'm a sailor this thing better waits

I said I don't believe you would you show me some proof

She showed me her tattoo then I knew that that's the truth

Met a woman on a highway by the exit sign

You'd bet your last dollar that she was forty-nine

But she swored to me that she was still in her youth

When I turned down the lights I knew that that's the truth

Had a girl on a border I guess she was shy never spoke a word in years not even hi

But one night she said honey we're gonna raise the roof

She put on some dancin' shoes then I knew that that's the truth

I knew a preacher's daughter in fact I knew her well

He said son you better ramble unless you've got somethin' to sell

It's an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth

He pulled out a fourty-four now I know that that's the truth that's the truth
