《The Truth》歌词

[00:00:00] The Truth - Steve Earle (史提夫·厄尔)

[00:00:05] In the blue of the evenin' when the sun is low

[00:00:11] There's a shadow that creeps across my cell block floor

[00:00:17] And it comes to remind me what I'm in here for

[00:00:22] No I'm not admittin' that I done the crime

[00:00:28] I'm only gettin' down to doin' time

[00:00:34] And the passin' of days is no concern of mine

[00:00:45] There's a guard on the second shift comes on at three

[00:00:50] And he's always about a half inch off me

[00:00:55] Like he needs to keep remindin' me that I'm not free

[00:01:02] God forgive him 'cause he doesn't see

[00:01:07] He's no less a prisoner 'cause he holds a key

[00:01:13] And God forbid he turn his back on me

[00:01:41] For every wall you build around your fear

[00:01:46] A thousand darker things are born in here

[00:01:52] And they're fed on contempt for all that you hold dear

[00:01:57] The truth is it doesn't matter what you do

[00:02:03] 'Til you gaze in the mirror with an eye that's true

[00:02:09] And admit that what scares you is the me in you
