TEN YEARS AGO, ON A COLD DARK NIGHT,
THERE WAS SOMEONE KILLED ‘NEATH THE TOWN HALL LIGHT.
THERE WERE FEW AT THE SCENE, BUT THEY ALL AGREED
THAT THE MAN THEY SAW RUNNIN’ LOOKED A LOT LIKE ME
THE JUDGE SAID “SON, WHAT’S YOUR ALIBI,
IF YOU WERE SOMWHERE ELSE, YOU WON’T HAVE TO DIE.”
I SPOKE NOT A WORD, THO’ IT MEANT MY LIFE,
FOR I HAD BEEN IN THE ARMS OF MY BEST FRIEND’S WIFE
