Artist/Band: Johnny Cash
Lyrics for Song: That's The Truth
Lyrics for Album: Johnny 99 [1999]



Saw a girl in Tampa

I asked her for a date

She said, "Baby, I'm a sailor

This thing better waits"



I said, "I don't believe you

Would you show me some proof"

She showed me her tattoo

Then I knew that that's the truth



Met a woman on a highway

By the exit'sign

You'd bet your last dollar

That she was forty-nine



But she swore to me

That she was still in her youth

When I turned down the lights

I knew that that's the truth



Had a girl on a border

I guess, she was shy

Never spoke a word in years

Not even hi



But one night she said

"Honey, we're gonna raise the roof"

She put on some dancin' shoes

Then I knew that that's the truth



I knew a preacher's daughter

In fact I knew her well

He said, "Son, you better ramble

Unless you've got somethin' to sell"



It's an eye for an eye

And a tooth for a tooth

He pulled out a forty-four

Now I know that that's the truth, that's the truth
