That old creek vine sure comes a live 
In a small town when someones runnin' round
When they shouldn't be
That motel ain't a no tell, no-
The gossip mill keeps turning till
if finally hits the wrong ears
and the tears spill and the heart breaks
and that was more than I could take
(Chorus)
And the front page showed it in black and white
The bed of my truck hanging out the side
Of that dirty run down room 
Off 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
Well now I'm sittin' in a 6'x9'
they talkin' about taking my life
but I don't care 'cause wrong or right
I did what I had to do
Loving that girl was all I had
And it's the reason why it's where I'm at
The 6th commandment was my sin 
but they 7th one did him in
(Chorus)
And the front page showed it in black and white
The bed of my truck hanging out the side
Of that dirty run down room 
Off 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
Yeah the front page showed it in black and white
The bed of my truck hanging out the side
Of that dirty run down room 
off 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
