Witness

I got a cat named Midnight round here

I only feed him tuna fish and beer

Once we split a 5th of wine

Now he wants wine all the time

I gotta cat named named Midnight round here

I got steel in my knees from the war

I don't go to church anymore

That blood and stuff gets pretty rough

I guess I've seen blood enough

I got steel in my knees from the war

It's true, I get jumpy sometimes

Now and then I might forget my lines

The other day, in the checkout lane

I signed a check with my old name

It's true I get jumpy sometimes

I met a girl out walking last night

I tried to kiss her waiting for the light

She said she went to Beauty School

I told her I thought that was cool

This girl I met walking last night

When that girl and me were talking later on

All my inhibitions were gone

Even a crippled bird will sing

I think I told her everything

When that girl and me were talking later on

These days I keep a watch out for the gun

All because the jury was hung

The jury foreman, he just smiled

The killer tapped danced down the aisle

These days, I keep a watch out for the gun

I lost everything because

I told them who the shooter was
