| She told me he was beating her today | |
| And she showed me all the bruises on her face | |
| I said, baby, can | |
| I make it all | |
| OK She said, honey, you should make him go away | |
| There's a hundred thousand dollars in the bank | |
| And the policy he took out yesterday | |
| We can live outside the country for awhile | |
| Until things smooth over and get under control | |
| There's a tattoo of your name across my soul | |
| I bought a rifle and black guns without a name | |
| For an alibi she went six states away | |
| When I saw him | |
| I felt fire | |
| I felt cold | |
| Like the devil and the lord wanted my soul | |
| Like the tattoo of your name across my soul | |
| So I shot him in his car until he died | |
| I called to give the signal and she cried | |
| Life has a way of making other plans | |
| She called the cops and said | |
| I was a crazy man | |
| I'm gonna get this thing removed when | |
| I can There was never any policy | |
| And the bruises came from falling on the street | |
| So the judge gave me one hundred thousand years | |
| In the courtroom she was filling up with tears | |
| I saw her hold the lawyer's hand real tight | |
| They looked tired from lack of sleep last night | |
| Seems the whole time she had me under control | |
| With a tattoo of her name across my soul | |
| She got off and | |
| I will never have parole | |
| Just this tattoo of her name across my soul | |
| Just this tattoo of her name across my soul | |
| Just this tattoo of her name across my soul |
