That old grapevine sure comes alive in a small town 
when someone's runnin 'round when they shouldn't be in 
that motel ain't I know too known.
That old gossip wheel keeps turning till it finally 
hits the wrong ears and the tears spill and the heart 
breaks and that's more than i can take.
In the front they showed it in black and white, the bed 
of my truck hangin out the side of that dirty run down 
room off of highway 22. Drove my bumper slam up to the 
bed, put my 45 against his head and before i dropped 
that hammer down, i said, you don't lay another man's 
woman down.
Now I'm sittin in this 6 by 9 and they, they talkin 
about takin my life but i don't care if it's wrong or 
right I did what i had to do. Lovin that girl is all i 
had. It's the reason why I'm where I'm at. The 6th 
commandment was my sin but the 7th one did him in.
