Ain't it the truth
Ain't it the truth, now, baby
Ain't it the truth, now
What I say?

Eat watermelon
Eat peaches and cream
Eat ripe tomatoes
You know what I mean.

Ain't it the truth
Ain't it the truth, now, baby
Ain't it the truth, now
What I say?

Your majesty
Your curvaceousness
Your highness
Your soulfulness.

Make love to me, babe
Make love to me
Make me feel all right, now

Got a woman that loves me
And I love her so
But she's all dressed up now
With nowhere to go.

All our old hang-outs
Are boarded up and closed
Or bein' bought by somebody
Nobody knows.

But things ain't that bad
We still got the kids
We're goin' out to the movies
Right after this.

Goin' back to school
Savin' up my tuition
Gonna rewrite all the rules
On the old blackboard.

There's just one thing
I'm askin' of you
There's just one thing,
baby, I'm askin' of you
Don't ever leave me, baby
No matter what you do
There's just one thing
I'm askin' of you.

Don't take your love away from me
Don't take your love away from me
'Cause if you ever leave me, baby
How wrong you would be
Don't take your love away from me.

When I make a promise,
you can bet that it's true

When I was a young boy,
it weren't too late
I had me a Buick, was a '48
Yeah, tons and tons
of rollin' steel
With a long black hoad
and four big wheels.

Well, I worked so hard
I flunked out of school
And everybody said
I was a teenage fool
Meanwhile I wrote me
a new set of rules
'Bout how to get gone
and how to be cool.

Well, we hit the road
like a ton o' bricks
With an old guitar
