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 something 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 hiding place
It's like thunder crashing down
Or a freight train runnin' through you
Oh, you won't forget the sound
Once you've heard the truth

She threw her wedding ring
And it rolled across the floor
Oh, 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 hiding place
It's like thunder crashing 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'...
