Karaoké Guilty as Can Be Cody Johnson

Once I had me a woman

Everything was goin' my way

She thought I had hung the moon and she had an angel's face

'Till one night I pulled in my drive and somethin' was goin' on

There was a long bed Ford in my spot that I damn sure didn't own

I walked up to the screen door and I heard this awful noise

I moved on to the living room and there sat my two boys

Well I said where's mama and they both pointed to the bedroom down the hall

Now I ain't ever been a fightin' man but red was all I saw

See brother 'cos I've been down and I've been out

And I know how it feels

To stand up for what you think is right then get knocked off your heels

And if murderin' a man who didn't understand just what she meant to me

Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity

Well then mister

I'm as guilty as can be

Well I wish I had me a picture of what his face looked like when I kicked in my bedroom door and raised my forty-five

I said I ain't the kind to hurt a woman and I hope you understand

But somebody's got to die today

Son it looks like you're the man

See brother 'cos I've been down and I've been out

And I know how it feels

To stand up for what you think is right then get knocked off your heels

And if murderin' a man who didn't understand just what she meant to me

Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity

Well then mister

I'm as guilty as can be yeah

That's what I told that jury

That's what I told that judge

And I knew there'd be hell to pay if I fulfilled my grudge

You see I don't mind these prison bars tucked off in these pine trees

But one thing about that cheatin' woman

She won't cheat again on me

See brother now I've been down and I've been out

And I know how it feels

To stand up for what you think is right then get knocked off your heels

And if murderin' a man who didn't understand just what she meant to me

Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity

Well then mister

I'm as guilty as can be

I said if murderin' a man who didn't understand just what she meant to me

Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity

Well then mister

I'm as guilty as can be

Yeah go ahead and lock me up boys

I'm guilty anyway
