"The Truth" lyrics

She gets up with her head swung low down
Steps into the room
She says
"Please, listen while I sing my song to you
'Cuz it all slips away and it ends too soon"

"How in the hell did I get here?
Let me tell you all why I sing the blues
Been in a daze for ten years
But I still can sing the truth"

Heaven knows where we all go
When all we have is what we get
And when it's gone, when will I know?
Because I haven't got it yet
Because I haven't got it yet
Haven't got it yet

Swayin' to the swing of the music
Her arms wave in the air
She turns her head, our eyes make contact
It lets me know I'm there
Right there, now

"How in the hell did I get here?"
I'd still hear her cry the blues
Been in a daze for ten years
And she still can sing the truth

Heaven knows where we all go
When all we have is what we get
And when it's gone, when will I know?
Because I haven't got it yet
Heaven knows where we all go
When all we have is what we get
And when it's gone, where does it go?
Because I haven't found it yet

Did you find that ride?
Did you finally fly?
While I sat there, kickin' and bitchin'
Sayin' "gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme what's mine"
I thought I had it all, I wanted more, no need for you
I slammed the door, I cut you loose
What are the chances that I'd walk in here and find the truth?

"Of all the Gin joints in the world
I had to walk into this one
And there she was
Those big eyes, that big voice
And the truth
And nothin' but the truth
Well, maybe a few other things
Say like, you know, great bare legs
And that ass... ow man!
But I left it all behind me
Like Yogi says
'Deja vu all over again'
Well, let's see if she'll talk to me, or
Just blow me off
See ya later
Waiter, check please!"
