Once You've Heard the Truth

It was just like every other mornin'

The sun was shinin' and it was stormin'

They had words over breakfast

And he said somethin' reckless

Just a solitary slip of the tongue

Another woman's name and it was done

Once you've heard the truth

Stared it in the face

Once you've got the proof

There ain't no hidin' place

It's like thunder crashin' down

Or a freight train runnin' through you

No, you won't forget the sound

Once you've heard the truth

She threw her wedding ring

And it rolled across the floor

She didn't say a thing

But he heard that slammin' door

Once you've heard the truth

Stared it in the face

Once you've got the proof

There ain't no hidin' place

It's like thunder crashin' down

Or a freight train runnin' through you

Oh, you won't forget the sound

Once you've heard the truth

No, you won't forget the sound

Once you've heard the truth

It was just like every other mornin'

The sun was shinin' and it was stormin'
