The look on your face,

And the smell of your gun,

Tells me that the next few minutes

Might not be so much fun now...

 

Looking at sky

And wondering why,

I just didn’t tell a lie?

 

CHORUS

I got no alibi.

I got no alibi

I got no alibi.

I got no alibi.

 

I didn’t know that she was your wife;

I never would have let her in or held her,

Never in my life.

 

Now, I’m looking down a gun

For a thing that can’t be undone,

Why didn’t I just tell a lie?

 

CHORUS

 

Before I die at the hand

of this jealous man,

Please a request,

if I can?

 

Don’t tell my children,

just what I done...

Especially don’t tell my wife!

 

CHORUS

 

Before I die at the hand

of this jealous man,

Please a request,

if I can?

 

Don’t tell my children,

just what I done...

Especially don’t tell my wife!
