The Truth Songtext
von Hard Target

Credence saw a bad moon
Lauryn Hill, sang everything
Tina Steel rolling on the same damn river
That God Bruce called a dream

Otis sat on the dock of a bae
Johnny Cash St. Prison Blues
B.B. King bent a couple of strings
And Elvis wore blue suede shoes, and that′s the truth

Ben Allen Jason didn't have much to say
When they asked him about the rainbow that he chased
Get your freak on, Missy 50′s in the club
We can all get together like the Youngbloods

Bob Marley shot the sheriff, Ray Charles hit the road
Southern all my brothers, it's time to the whipping post
Right then, call the police Shady kills Stan
Guess I'm riding out with Elton John to Rocket Man


I started out young, body rockin′ the beat
I′d admit, I ain't junior by the time I was three
When I saw my rowdy friends, I knew who I wanted to be
A country rap, rockin′ backwoods, MC

And roll black water, 'cause it′s in my veins
Johnny Cash, Disney, and it's your thing
I swig a white lightning, ′cause I love the taste
A little man in a box, with a drop of a mace and grass

I said, hey, pretty lady, won't you give me a sign?
Tony Hawk in the clips, man, I've been on my grind
I ate corn, went blind, and I bit my tongue
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain′t one

And Garth Brooks drop hit after hit like Ike Turner
And my pastor told me we ready and vice versa
And the smell of wine in that cheap perfume
It took me back on a journey that I couldn′t refuse, and that's the truth

Credence saw a bad moon
Lauryn Hill, sang everything
Tina Steel rolling on the same damn river
That God Bruce called a dream


Otis sat on the dock of a bae
Johnny Cash St. Prison Blues
B.B. King bent a couple of strings
And Elvis wore blue suede shoes, and that′s the truth

I'm feeling them good vibrations creeping down in my knees
I really love your peaches, wanna shake your trees
And we can take it to the water, Zed 7, Mary 3
Mr. Joe Walsh, this life′s been good to me

Johnny said give rhythm when you get the blues
Bon Thug said wake up, I don't hit the snooze
I just sing about a journey like Willie on the road
I′m the wayward son that Kansas sang, I suppose

'Cause I grind all day, then work all night
And Simple Man is the soundtrack for my life
I took a stairway to heaven, stopped at the gates
Heard Jerry Lee Lewis on them 88's

Do a dime by the meter, ride in a Caddy
And now Cass and Youngblood said, "They′re waiting for daddy"
I listened to everything up under the sun
Until I started marching to the beat of my own drum, and then go

Credence saw a bad moon
Lauryn Hill, sang everything
Tina Steel rolling on the same damn river
That God Bruce called a dream

Otis sat on the dock of a bae
Johnny Cash St. Prison Blues
B.B. King bent a couple of strings
And Elvis wore blue suede shoes, and that′s the truth
