Текст Clutch — Box Car Shorty Confession

It wasn’t gambling that cause me
To kill my friend Peter Blue
It wasn’t gambling that cause me
To kill my friend Peter Blue
If you caught your best friend with your wife
You’d do the same thing too

When they strapped on the lie detector
The needle kept going up and down
When they strapped on the lie detector
The needle kept going up and down
And they knew I were lyin’
Since I first sat down
So I spoke to my conscious
And asked what should I do
Yes, I spoke to my conscious

And asked what should I do
My conscious said shorty
I would plead guilty if I were you
So I stood up on my feet
And raised up my right hand
So I stood up on my feet

And raised up my right hand
I said Judge I’m confessing
I shot my woman’s man
So the prosecutor asked me
Shorty, why did you kill that man?
So the prosecutor asked me
Shorty, why did you kill that man?
I said if you’ve never been in love
Then you wouldn’t understand
When I signed my confession
This is what I wrote

When I signed my confession
This is what I wrote
That I’m throwing myself
On the mercy of the court
When the jury found me guilty
My woman’s eyes were full of tears

When the jury found me guilty
My woman’s eyes were full of tears
The verdict was manslaughter
I got from 1 to 20 years
Baby, 1 year ain’t no sentence
And 20 years ain’t no time
Baby, 1 year ain’t no sentence
And 20 years ain’t no time
And if I pass I’ll see you when I dig my time
