Her Side Of The Alibi

Intro Blue motel soap beneath my nails She told the deputy I stayed home

Verse 1 I said rain erased the drive Said we locked the door by nine Said the Buick never moved Said my black shirt wasn't used She sat quiet by the sink Turned her wedding band and blinked Every answer matched my own Till he asked which way we'd gone

Pre-Chorus Same four walls Same July Same front door Different sky

Chorus Her side of the alibi Fits mine till the details slide I said rain, she said dry Truth sleeps between his side and mine

Verse 2 He came home at two fifteen Shirt turned wrong side at the seam Set his keys inside the bread Washed one cuff till pink ran red I heard gravel strike the frame There was no thunder, there was no rain I gave the law the words we planned Kept one motel key in hand

Pre-Chorus Same four walls Same July Same front door Different lie

Chorus Her side of the alibi Fits mine till the details slide I said rain, she said dry Truth sleeps between his side and mine

Bridge I kept your name outside the file I kept your secret for a while You swore the key was thrown away I mailed it to the law today Her side of the alibi Fits mine till the details slide I said rain, she said dry Truth woke up on her side tonight

Outro No rain that night
