Trust

(allen collins -- gary rossington -- ronnie vanzant)

Id like to tell yall a story
About a friend of mine
Who liked to drink good whiskey, oh lord
And have a real good time
His woman, you know she left him
And stole that boys brand new car
And ran out of town with a guitar picker
Said he gonna be a superstar
Sure you are

(chorus)
You cant alway trust your woman
You cant always trust your best friend
Beware of the ones that you need yall
cause those might be the ones that do you in

Dont talk no stuff to no slicker
Dont tell your feelings to your friend
Dont tell your woman that you love her, because
Thats when your trouble begins
There are many ladies here among us
Thatll stab you in the back when you aint around
There are many, so many of your very best friends
Thatll kick you in the head when you are down
Yes they will

(chorus)

Dont you backtalk the police
cause its his job to put you in the jail
Theyll lock you up, boy and throw away the key
And your best friend wont even go your bail
There are many slickers here among us
That are all dressed up in suits and ties
But dont you show your pain, lord in front of them
cause if you do you kiss yourself goodbye, alright

(chorus)
