VERSE ONE:
Well, I came home early to find you in bed with a look on your face.
Well, I didn't know what you been doing so you bet i was on the case.
Was he on my bed? In the bathroom? In the closet? The vacuum?
In the kitchen and I'm grabbin' a knife and you know I won't quit until i take this man's life.
I'm on the path of fury, I'm in a hurry and i don't give a fuck about some damn jury.
Well, 20 years, in prison, for a damn good reason!
I got a mind to go right back upstairs and show the cheatin' bitch how much i really care.
See her in the bedroom and I grab her, I didn't mean for the knife to stab her,
Well,
To death!
Death row!
Gonna fry!
Lord, no, no!!!
CHORUS:
Why didn't you tell me
He was only the insurance man?
Why didn't you tell me?
I got innocent blood on my hands.
God, I'm sorry for what's it's worth
I been a violent man ever since my birth.
if you'll forgive this, time will only tell
But at the moment, it looks like I'm gonna rot in hell.
Why didn't you tell me
He was only the insurance man?
Why didn't you tell me?
I got innocent blood on my hands.
VERSE TWO:
There were tears in my eyes and blood on my hands
When I realized I'd done so I up and ran
To my daddy's house, hoped he would understand.
He gave me 50 bucks, said get outta here, man.
Well, I'm a cold-blooded killer,
I'm a star in my own thriller.
So I walk through the city in a funk
'Til i see a liquor store, yes it's time to get drunk.
At this point, there's nothing to do.
But sit around and wait for the man to come for you
Jack Daniels, Lord he lives!
One hour, then finished.
So I'm drunk and at least I'm wasted, know the end is near.
Yes, i can almost taste it.
I hear the sirens in the distance
'Cause they found the bodies
Bat knocked me out
He'll be sorry, well
It's over
There's the police
Guns drawn
I'm on my face
Handcuffs
In jail
Public defender
No bail!
REPEAT CHORUS:
WHY didn't you tell me
He was only the insurance man?!
Why didn't you tell me?
I got innocent blood on my hands.
God, I'm sorry for what's it's worth
I been a violent man ever since my birth.
If you'll forgive this, time will only tell
But at the moment, it looks like i'm gonna rot in hell!
WHY didn't you tell me
He was only the insurance man?
Why didn't you tell me
I got innocent blood on my hands?
God, I'm sorry for what's it's worth
I been a violent man ever since my birth.
If you'll forgive this, time will only tell
but at the moment, it looks like i'm gonna rot in hell.
