That's the Truth
Saw a girl in Tampa, I asked her for a date
She said, "Baby I'm a sailor, this thing better wait"
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 (that's the truth)
You'd bet your last dollar that she was 49 (that's the truth)
But she swored to me that she was still in her youth (that's the truth)
When I turned down the lights, I knew that that's the truth (that's the truth)
Had a girl on the border, I guess she was shy (that's the truth)
Never spoke a word in years not even hi (that's the truth)
But one night she said, "Honey we're going to raise the roof" (that's the truth)
She put on some dancing shoes, then I knew that that's the truth (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 something to sell"
It's an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth (that's the truth)
He pulled out a .44, now I know that that's the truth
That's the truth (that's the truth)
She said, "Baby I'm a sailor, this thing better wait"
I said, "I don't believe you, would you show me some proof?"

You'd bet your last dollar that she was 49 (that's the truth)

That's the truth (that's the truth)
