Don't let on you've seen me like this, like this
My old transistor's soundin' just as twangy as a Fender

His Bible is not inked in gold, he’s not the cheatin' kind
One Sunday after meetin', I was in the greetin' line

"Just remember who's beside you when it's no business of mine."
I said: "Remember who's beside you when it's no business of mine."
