Well I wrote a story Got put in the paper About all the bridges I'd burned For the last part I lied But you know it don't matter Cause I'll print anything that you served And if I was a shadow On a long lonely gallow That hang me and pull off my lip Cause making up stories was all I could do And you know that the truth ain't worth sh** That so much has happened I ran with the union And the ink never dried with the gra** Well the numbers got plenty I a**ure you that many Had been added by me for a gas And if I was a shadow On a long lonely gallow That hang me and cut off my lip Cause making up stories was all I could do And you know that the truth ain't worth sh** My home was the scene Or a quarrelsome marriage That flared up whenever i spoke So i brought her some letters Washed down in adventure And my bed would be lonely no more And if I was a shadow On a long lonely gallow That hang me and cut off my lip Cause making up stories was all I could do And you know that the truth ain't worth sh** And if I was a shadow On a long lonely gallow That hang me and cut off my lip Cause making up stories was all I could do And you know that the truth ain't worth sh** And if I was a shadow On a long lonely gallow That hang me and cut off my lip Cause making up stories was all I could do And you know that the truth ain't worth sh**
