Corrupting My Better Half

"Have you ever been in love?"
"Once. She's dead. She got shot'"

Cutest girl I ever saw, did I love her
Then why'd I go and do something so cruel?
I married her on that summer day, did she love me
Well, she said yes so she must've been a fool

On our honeymoon night instead of making sweet love
I sat her down and confessed my true history
I said, "Baby, I love you and I hope you know you're a gift from above
But I killed twenty men and the cops are after me."

Well she said "That's okay. I don't care dear
'Cause I love you anyway
Honey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
So be strong and be brave."
Well, I'll try
You know I'll try

And God said it is good
And man and woman should
Become one and be fruitful
Well, we would if we could
But we're running from the law
And we're living in a shack
And I'm gonna burn in hell
For corrupting my better half

Cruising down the freeway, going ninety-five
We're robbing convenience stores and trying to stay alive
I'm sorry I got the man back there
Could you ever forgive me
For bringing you into my life when I should've left you be?

Well she said "That's okay. I don't care dear
'Cause I love you anyway
Honey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
So be strong and be brave."
Well, I'll try
You know I'll try

And God said it is good
And man and woman should
Become one and be fruitful
Well, we would if we could
But we're running from the law
And we're living in a shack
And I'm gonna burn in hell
For corrupting my better half

The cops have found our hideout and they shot her
Why'd they go and do something so cruel?
She died right in my arms, I had to leave her
I'm sorry, my love, for being such a fool

Well she said "That's okay. I don't care dear
'Cause I love you anyway
Honey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
So be strong and be brave."
Well I'll try
Oh Jesus, you know I'll try

And God said it is good
And man and woman should
Become one and be fruitful
Well, we would if we could
But I'm running from the law
And the cops shot down my shack
And I'm gonna burn in hell
For corrupting my better half

And I'm gonna burn in hell
For corrupting my better half
And I'm gonna burn in hell
For killing my better half
