I remember when I saw the sea freeze   But it said nothing about the birds and the bees   They were swarming around my head   'You’d be better off dead'      But I ain’t going down like that   No I ain’t going down like that      'Cos I’m better than him   And I know where I’ve been   And I know where I’m comin’ from   And a lie is a sin, but don’t we all sin   That is the truth, and the truth is grim   Now he’s in jail, his story is for sale   The farmer's dog wags his crippled tail   It points to the West and it leaves out the rest   And invites you to be his special guest      Oooooh....      I remember when I saw the leaves fall   I was in the woods, in a gown you wouldn’t wear to the ball   Into the ditch I fly, wanted dead or alive      But I ain’t going down like that   No I ain’t going down like that      'Cos I’m better than him   And I know where I’ve been   And I know where I’m comin’ from   And a lie is a sin, but don’t we all sin   That is the truth, and the truth is grim   Now he’s in jail, his story is for sale   The farmer's dog wags his crippled tail   It points to the West and it leaves out the rest   And invites you to be his special guest      Oooooh....      'Cos I’m better than him   And I know where I’ve been   And I know where I’m comin’ from   And a lie is a sin, but don’t we all sin   That is the truth, and the truth is grim   And I'll stop
