about

true story

lyrics

{CH} Ol' Roy was that city boy who stole my sweetie pie
and if you saw us standin there eye to eye
you could tell one of us was about to die

I had a wife by the name of Mary
she was raised right across from my neighboring prairie
come rain or shine, she was always pretty
still bought her clothes from the god-damned city

she'd clean and sing, we'd both do the cookin
I'd tell her all day she was mighty fine lookin
and I'd hold her tight all through the night
but I could tell from her eyes somethin just weren't right

well I was workin outside on the family ranch
I noticed this note hangin on a branch
it said "I met a new man and he treats me right,
you can sleep by yourself tonight"

I pounded that fencepost into the ground,
cursed the names of the folks in town
she was my girl and I was her boy
till she left me for that fella Ol' Roy

{CH}

She told me she'd love me for good
and I did all that I said I would
But she never disclosed her lover's name
for fear that one of us would end up slain

I walked to town in the pourin rain
the cold it wasn't cold enough to ease my pain
I wouldn't feel right until I tasted blood
staggered forth on through the mud

well nobody spoke as I sat at the bar
who pulled up in my baby's car?
I jumped from my stool, I just couldn't wait
he was about to die for touchin my old lady

he kissed my Mary right on the face
so I reached for the weapon tied around my waste
I stuck him in the belly with my granddad's knife
said "that's what you get for fuckin my wife"
that's what you get for takin my wife

{CH}

Well the man at the bar done spilt his drink
and the barkeeper didn't know what to think
so I hid up in the mountains where the land is pretty
no I never went back to the god damned city
