You used to leave your scent

On his whiskey soaked collar

You both would paint the town

Drink up his very last dollar

And then you loved him for fun

And rode away when it was done

Now he?s confused and I know why

Ain?t that mud in your eye?

Ain?t like rain?

Remember lively little Richard

But his men were painting town

You were in need of attention

So he thought he?d take you on down

And there you first saw me

And realized you were no longer free

'Cause true love good girls can?t deny

It comes and goes like mud in you?re eye

Sometimes a victim can run

But not when both have been ?von

And I ain?t no stranger

I built you up to shoot you down

Once you could thrill me

Now I?m the jury

And you?ll be a cinch to convict

Your boy?s gonna make the great escape

While you're laid bare on the ground

This vengeance had to and in crime

I built you up and shoot you down

You know I?m not usually that kind

But you didn?t know he was a brother of mine

But I?ll just laugh if you cry

Now ain?t that mud in your eye
