Used to be younger, out on the hard streets,

Gettin' high on crystal, drinkin' scotch and smokin' weed,

Daddy's wish used to be nothin' less than my command,

 % &(D-----Dsus4)&%

Took to a switch to my back, nailed me to a cross with both hands,

Momma couldn't give me the thing a young boy needs,

Instead of momma sufferin' she was smart enough to leave,

 % & & &(D-----Dsus4)&

Spent my life fightin' tryin' to stay free,

From trials and tribulation and the state penitantory,

(oh, i know)

I suppose really lookin' cool, just makin' both ends meet,

Until that day i saw you walkin', down Blue Angel Street,

&&

The sweetest lies of lily white, comin' from you lips,

You brush away all my pain, with a lazy finger tip!

It moves my heart just watchin', the way you walk so smooth,

you save me from an evil fate, you steal 'way my blues,

& &

Lyin' here, in your arms, I don't need no more proof,

^^^^^^^^^^(strum)

Lyin' here, safe and warm, it's just the naked truth!

This man loves you, this man loves you,

%

This man loves you, this man loves you.

x

That's the naked truth. It's the naked truth.........

x

Goin' down that graveyard spiral, there was nothin' I could do,

Life treated me much harder, ?than me'in' an ole corkscrew?

>(meeting)<
