Truth Lyrics

well, my woman, she showed up with your number on her hand
i thought that i might call you up so we can deal with this man to man
you better tell me the truth, son
you better tell me the truth, son
now, he showed up down at the barroom walkin’ slow and actin’ strong,
well i said, my friend, I’ll give you one last chance
to admit that you done me wrong
you better tell me the truth, son
you better tell me the truth, son
now, they got me here at the county with his blood still on my fists
well, the boys in blue, they don’t play no games
all the sheriff said to me was this
you better tell me the truth, son
you better tell me the truth, son
now, they got me here at the lockdown for a crime i did commit well
for my one call, i called the number on my girl’s hand
to remind you not to forget
you shoulda told me the truth, son
you shoulda told me the truth, son
you shoulda told me the truth, son
made me beat it out of you
made me beat it out of you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
