Ain’t That the Truth Poison

[Intro]
Yeah!
Now, pardon my personal demons, child, but if you do insist
Sit down and listen to me story awhile, 'cause it goes something like this

[Verse 1]
Joint was small, we was having a ball at a place called the Blue Duck Inn
When I couldn't help but notice her, my future wife walked in
I needed me a dose of her, I got a little closer, and this is what she said
My old man stands about six-foot-five, and if he catches you, you're dead

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need none of that, giving me the blues
I tell, the old man sitting next to me said, "Son, let me tell you"

[Chorus]
Life, you just can't fake it
Love, you gotta make it
Time, you better take it
Lord, ain't that the truth? Hear me out
Heart will surely feel it
Women come and steal it
Time can only heal it
Lord, ain't that the truth? Yeah, ha!

[Verse 2]
I save Friday night for the ladies, Saturday night for my gin
Come Sunday morning, I'm asking the good Lord, forgive me for my sins
But my heave-ho-get-up-and-go wouldn't get me out of bed
I feel like some big wrecking ball done hit upside my head
