Box Car Shorty’s Confession Clutch

[Verse 1]
It wasn't gamblin' that caused me
To kill my friend, Peter Blue
It wasn't gamblin' that caused me
To kill my friend, Peter Blue
If you caught your best friend with your wife
You'd do the same thing, too

[Verse 2]
When they strapped on the lie detector
The needle kept goin' up and down
When they strapped on the lie detector
The needle kept goin' up and down
And they knew I were lyin'
Since I first sat down

[Verse 3]
So, I spoke to my conscience
And asked, "What should I do?"
Yes, I spoke to my conscience
And asked, "What should I do?"
My conscience said, "Shorty
I would plead guilty if I were you"

[Verse 4]
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 confessin'
I shot my woman's man"
