The Truth - Steve Earle (史提夫·厄尔)[00:00:00]
In the blue of the evenin' when the sun is low[00:00:05]
There's a shadow that creeps across my cell block floor[00:00:11]
And it comes to remind me what I'm in here for[00:00:17]
No I'm not admittin' that I done the crime[00:00:22]
I'm only gettin' down to doin' time[00:00:28]
And the passin' of days is no concern of mine [00:00:34]
There's a guard on the second shift comes on at three[00:00:45]
And he's always about a half inch off me[00:00:50]
Like he needs to keep remindin' me that I'm not free[00:00:55]
God forgive him 'cause he doesn't see[00:01:02]
He's no less a prisoner 'cause he holds a key[00:01:07]
And God forbid he turn his back on me [00:01:13]
For every wall you build around your fear[00:01:41]
A thousand darker things are born in here[00:01:46]
And they're fed on contempt for all that you hold dear[00:01:52]
The truth is it doesn't matter what you do[00:01:57]
'Til you gaze in the mirror with an eye that's true[00:02:03]
And admit that what scares you is the me in you[00:02:09]
