The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If i thought for just one moment i could take you at your word
I'd let you in on almost anything i see
But you been caught in the act of spreading secrets that you heard
And they got a way of gettin' back to me
(chorus)
Total strangers come and tell me my life story
Telling me where i went wrong
On things i've never done before;
And it's one kind of favor i'd be asking you
Don't do me any favors anymore
I've been accused of being ragged and unholy
I guess i've been called most every name except dead;
But it would take ten strong men
A hundered years of running loose and wild
To live up to all the stories that you spread.
(chorus)
