Steve Earle - The Truth Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • In the blue of the evening when the sun is low
  • Theres a shadow that creeps across my cell block floor
  • And it comes to remind me what Im in here for
  • No, Im not admittin that I done the crime
  • Im only getting down to doin time
  • The passin of day is no concern of mine
  • Theres a guard on the second shift comes on at three
  • And hes always about a half inch off of me
  • Like he needs to keep remindin me that Im not free
  • God forgive him cuz he doesnt see
  • Hes no less a prisoner cuz he holds a key
  • And God forbid he turn his back on me
  • For every wall you build around your fear
  • A thousand darker things are born in here
  • There fed on contempt for all that you hold dear
  • The truth is it doesnt matter what you do
  • til you gaze in that mirror with an eye thats true
  • And admit that what scares you is the me in you
