Somebody Tell the Truth

I've been smokin a lot of cigarettes
I've been shufflin my feet
Making payments on some long past dues
This slice of life aint cheap

I've been doin a little drinkin
But it don't tickle my bone
What's a man to do with these old walkin shoes
If they never get you home

Somebody tell the truth
What’s a man to do
Somebody tell the truth
What’s a man to do
When the one you love don’t love you
Somebody tell the truth
What’s a man to do

Pickin up rocks in this old river bed
I'm just tryin to forget
Some days you take from it what you want
Some days you take what you get
But I have seen the whites of your knuckles
I've seen the blood in your spit
You can give up, and you can give in
But you can never quit

Somebody tell the truth
What’s a man to do
Somebody tell the truth
What’s a man to do
When the one you love don’t love you
Somebody tell the truth
What’s a man to do
