Don't Break the Code

The valley was green and the sun was bright

He asked if she'd like to go for a ride

They drove up to the river in the cool Oak trees

She reached out and gave his hand a squeeze

Suddenly they were in each others arms

The passion they felt was a four alarm

He loved her once, he loved her twice

But he should have listened to a friend's advice

Don't mess around with another man's wife

Step out of line you could lose your life

Stay on the straight and narrow road

Don't break the code

They drove back home when the sun went down

All the workers were headed out of town

Rushing to suppers and family nests

Relief from the fever time to rest

The lover's were slowly reluctant to part

Through the afternoon they'd given their hearts

She twisted her golden wedding ring

As they listened to the crickets sing

The gun was sprayed with a diamond bright shine

He polished it when he came home from the mine

He said I can protect and keep what's mine

A believer in Jesus and the ties that bind

He found them in bed he went out of his mind

Shot them both though the heart three times

The jury found only insanity

So his head stayed in prison but his body went free
