(Cash Savage)
I picked up my ex-lady around the corner
To take her into town to the state court
But not for any way I may have wronged her
Lord knows she done no wrongs to me
I've been dreading this moment for a long time
It's been 12 months since I seen her to the day
and my body ain't forgotten about her warmness
Lord knows she ain't forgotten about my ways
There's a bad man waiting for us in the courtroom
A bad man we once picked up on the road
To take him from his evil to a safe place
There's no way anybody could have known
So we sit here together in silence
Maybe there's just nothing left for us to say
When I finally got us back to that courtroom
I answered every question that came my way
Well yes sir, I picked him up near Churchill
Said his car had broken down somewhere
But if I knew then what I now know about him
Things would have turned out a different way
Because I know there were people looking for him
And I know they all had something to say
Probably would have strung him up on a front porch
But maybe a man like that deserves to go that way
Well I'm sorry if you don't have my full attention
It's been 12 months since I seen her to the day
and my body ain't forgotten about her warmness
Lord knows she ain't forgotten about my ways
