| She told me he was beating her today
|
| And she showed me all the bruises on her face
|
| I said, baby, can I make it all OK
|
| She said, honey, you should make him go away
|
| There’s a hundred thousand dollars in the bank
|
| And the policy he took out yesterday
|
| We can live outside the country for awhile
|
| Until things smooth over and get under control
|
| There’s a tattoo of your name across my soul
|
| I bought a rifle and black guns without a name
|
| For an alibi she went six states away
|
| When I saw him I felt fire I felt cold
|
| Like the devil and the lord wanted my soul
|
| Like the tattoo of your name across my soul
|
| So I shot him in his car until he died
|
| I called to give the signal and she cried
|
| Life has a way of making other plans
|
| She called the cops and said I was a crazy man
|
| I’m gonna get this thing removed when I can
|
| There was never any policy
|
| And the bruises came from falling on the street
|
| So the judge gave me one hundred thousand years
|
| In the courtroom she was filling up with tears
|
| I saw her hold the lawyer’s hand real tight
|
| They looked tired from lack of sleep last night
|
| Seems the whole time she had me under control
|
| With a tattoo of her name across my soul
|
| She gets off and I will never have parole
|
| Just this tattoo of your name across my soul
|
| Just this tattoo of your name across my soul |
