she told me he was beating her today and she showed me all the bruises on her face i said baby can i make it all ok she said honey you should make him go away there s a hundred thousand dollars in the bank and the policy he took out yesterday we can live outside the country for awhile until things smooth over and get under control there s a tattoo of your name across my soul i bought a rifle and black gloves without a name for an alibi she went six states away when i saw him i felt fire i felt cold like the devil and the lord wanted my soul like the tattoo of your name across my soul so i shot him in his car until he died i called to give the signal and she cried life has a way of making other plans she called the cops and said i was a crazy man i m gonna get this thing removed when i can there was never any policy and the bruises came from falling on the street so the judge gave me one hundred thousand years in the courtroom she was filling up with tears i saw her hold the lawyer s hand real tight they looked tired from not getting sleep last night see the whole time she had me under control with a tattoo of her name across my soul she got off and i will never have parole just this tattoo of her name across my soul just this tattoo of her name across my soul just this tattoo of her name across my soul
