Rita's Only Fault |
| She handled herself well |
| For being handled by two guards |
| She still looked like a prom queen |
| In the back of the sheriff’s car |
| The crowd lined up from the court house |
| To the jailhouse down the street |
| How could they talk so bad |
| About a girl who was so sweet |
| Rita’s heart turned to ice on a hot night in July |
| She did what she had to do |
| They don’t believe the reasons why |
| How he used her for a doormat |
| When he was sober enough to walk |
| As far as I’m concerned |
| He was Rita’s only fault |
| You know I’ve always loved her |
| And one time she loved me too |
| That first love never let me go |
| The way that others do |
| She left me for the quarterback |
| I knew him back in school |
| He had a shiny car and a fast smile |
| But I always knew he was a fool |
| Now I go to see her Sundays |
| I see the tears in her eyes |
| And I see the same sweet smile |
| That hell can’t disguise |
| If I’d have only known |
| I’d have done him in myself |
| I’d gladly take her place |
| In that cold grey cell |
