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
