I came back on the trail of a man Things are the same as when I left Well I so wanted to say hey But I know you think my sentence was too light Now time should have put this behind us Some things I won’t soon forget Bride and bridle are too close in a man’s mind And I know you think my sentence was too light
You, you weren’t true But I can’t blame a woman who changes Three thousand, six hundred and fifty-odd days I waited Time, I did my time
Now I long since quit feeling my hands Still, three men have a date with me I could have found them all before now And I know they think my sentence was too light Your father bet ten years against this day He wed his girl to a better man But he stands here now with his hat in his hands And I know he thinks my sentence was too light
