If i thought for just one moment i could take you at your word I'd let you in on almost anything i see But you been caught in the act of spreading secrets that you heard And they got a way of gettin' back to me (chorus) Total strangers come and tell me my life story Telling me where i went wrong On things i've never done before; And it's one kind of favor i'd be asking you Don't do me any favors anymore I've been accused of being ragged and unholy I guess i've been called most every name except dead; But it would take ten strong men A hundered years of running loose and wild To live up to all the stories that you spread. (chorus)
