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
