Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once I had me a woman
Well, everything was goin' my way
She thought I had hung the moon, and she had an angel's face
Till one night I pulled in my drive and somethin' was goin' on
There was a long bed Ford in my spot that I damn sure didn't own
[Verse 2]
I walked up to the screen door
And I heard this awful noise
Well, I moved on to the livin' room and there sat my two boys
Well, I said, "Where's Mama?" And they both pointed to the bedroom down the hall
And I ain't ever been a fightin' man, but red was all I saw
[Chorus]
See, brother, 'cause I been down and I been out and I know how it feels
To stand up for what you think is right then get knocked off your heels
And if murderin' a man who didn't understand just what she meant to me
Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity
Well then, mister, I'm as guilty as can be
[Verse 3]
Well, I wish I had me a picture
Of what his face looked like
When I kicked in my bedroom door and raised my .45
I said, "I ain't the kind to hurt a woman, and I hope you understand
But somebody's got to die today, son, it looks like you're the man"
[Chorus]
See, brother, 'cause I been down and I been out and I know how it feels
To stand up for what you think is right then get knocked off your heels
And if murderin' a man who didn't understand just what she meant to me
Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity
Well then, mister, I'm as guilty as can be, yeah
[Bridge]
That's what I told that jury
That's what I told that judge
And I knew there'd be hell to pay if I fulfilled my grudge
See, I don't mind these prison bars tucked off in these pine trees
One thing about that cheatin' woman, she won't cheat again on me
[Chorus]
See, brother, now I been down and I been out and I know how it feels
To stand up for what you think is right and get knocked off your heels
And if murderin' a man who didn't understand just what she meant to me
Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity
Well then, mister, I'm as guilty as can be
I said if murderin' a man who didn't understand just what she meant to me
Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity
Well then, mister, I'm as guilty as can be
[Verse 4]
Yeah, go ahead and lock me up, boys
I'm guilty anyways
