Well I wrote a story
Got put in the paper
About all the bridges I'd burned

For the last part I lied
But you know it don't matter
Cause I'll print anything that you served


And if I was a shadow
On a long lonely gallow

That hang me and pull off my lip
Cause making up stories was all I could do
And you know that the truth ain't worth %#@!


That so much has happened
I ran with the union

And the ink never dried with the grass
Well the numbers got plenty
I $$#ure you that many

Had been added by me for a gas

And if I was a shadow

On a long lonely gallow
That hang me and cut off my lip
Cause making up stories was all I could do

And you know that the truth ain't worth %#@!

My home was the scene

Or a quarrelsome marriage
That flared up whenever i spoke
So i brought her some letters

Washed down in adventure
And my bed would be lonely no more


And if I was a shadow
On a long lonely gallow
That hang me and cut off my lip

Cause making up stories was all I could do
And you know that the truth ain't worth %#@!


And if I was a shadow
On a long lonely gallow
That hang me and cut off my lip

Cause making up stories was all I could do
And you know that the truth ain't worth %#@!


And if I was a shadow
On a long lonely gallow
That hang me and cut off my lip

Cause making up stories was all I could do
And you know that the truth ain't worth %#@!
