Lyrics That's the Truth - Johnny Cash
Saw
a
girl
in
Tampa,
I
asked
her
for
a
date
She
said,
"Baby
I'm
a
sailor,
this
thing
better
wait"
I
said,
"I
don't
believe
you,
would
you
show
me
some
proof?"
She
showed
me
her
tattoo
then
I
knew
that
that's
the
truth
Met
a
woman
on
a
highway
by
the
exit
sign
(that's
the
truth)
You'd
bet
your
last
dollar
that
she
was
49
(that's
the
truth)
But
she
swored
to
me
that
she
was
still
in
her
youth
(that's
the
truth)
When
I
turned
down
the
lights,
I
knew
that
that's
the
truth
(that's
the
truth)
Had
a
girl
on
the
border,
I
guess
she
was
shy
(that's
the
truth)
Never
spoke
a
word
in
years
not
even
hi
(that's
the
truth)
But
one
night
she
said,
"Honey
we're
going
to
raise
the
roof"
(that's
the
truth)
She
put
on
some
dancing
shoes,
then
I
knew
that
that's
the
truth
(that's
the
truth)
I
knew
a
preacher's
daughter,
in
fact
I
knew
her
well
He
said,
"Son
you
better
ramble
unless
you've
got
something
to
sell"
It's
an
eye
for
an
eye
and
a
tooth
for
a
tooth
(that's
the
truth)
He
pulled
out
a
.44,
now
I
know
that
that's
the
truth
That's
the
truth
(that's
the
truth)
