NO ALIBI

Intro

Verse 1 Sheriff came around at sunrise Mud still drying on my boots Asked me where I'd been till three I said, "Somewhere telling truth" He looked down at my knuckles Then looked out toward the road Said a man went missing west of town I said, "That's a heavy load"

Refrain I got no alibi No clean story to sell No witness at the table No angel ringing bells I got no alibi But I ain't asking why If you already made your mind up Don't waste mine

Verse 2 He said they found a broken watch A tire track in the clay One shell beside the river And blood that washed away I said, "Sounds like somebody Had himself a real bad night" He said, "You always talk this easy?" I said, "Only when I'm right" Truth ain't always innocence And silence ain't a lie Some men answer every question Some men let it die I got no alibi No preacher on my side No photograph at midnight No reason left to hide I got no alibi And maybe that's enough You came here looking guilty Don't confuse that with caught
