I'm Innocent

I came home late last night
My baby ready for a fight
She said Joe where you been It’s a half past two
I been waiting up all night on you
I said I’m Innocent In the first degree
She said, Joe why you say your innocent
I didn’t accuse you of anything

I said listen baby every thing is all right
I was out with the boys all night
We were playing some tunes and time slipped away
Ain’t up to nothing swear on my mothers grave
Im Innocent in the first degree
She said Joe that’s two times you say your innocent
You running around on me

She said you know that girl name sally
That drive that mustang around town
She’s sweet on you Joe and the way you play that guitar
I saw her sitting with that smile on her face
She the reason you coming home so late
I said I’m innocent In the first degree
Im innocent please listen to me

I said yeah I know Sally and she better slow that mustang down
But me and that girl we aint never run around
Now I know what your thinking and it just aint true
My heart only belongs to you
I’m innocent in the first degree
I’m innocent please listen to me.

I’m gonna tell you with my guitar…

Now the lesson to this story is get yourself home at a decent time
And pay no attention to sally and any girl that look that fine
But if there’s one thing I can tell you is don’t throw yourself off a bridge
By repeatedly going on about how innocent you is….
Even if your innocent in the first degree
Innocent Just like me
Innocent the truth will set you free
Innocent in the first degree
