She told me he was beating her today

And she showed me all the bruises on her face

I said baby can I make it all ok

She said honey you should make him go away

There's a hundred thousand dollars in the bank

And the policy he took out yesterday

We can live outside the country for awhile

Until things smooth over and get under control

There's a tattoo of your name across my soul

I bought a rifle and black gloves without a name

For an alibi she went six states away

When I saw him I felt fire I felt cold

Like the devil and the lord wanted my soul

Like this tattoo of your name across my soul

So I shot him in his car until he died

I called to give the signal and she cried

Life has a way of making other plans

She called the cops and said I was a crazy man

I'm gonna get this thing removed when I can

There was never any policy

And the bruises came from falling on the street

So the judge gave me one hundred thousand years

In the courtroom she was filling up with tears

I saw her hold the lawyer's hand real tight

They looked tired from not getting sleep last night

See the whole time she had me under control

With a tattoo of her name across my soul

She got off and I will never have parole

Just this tattoo of her name across my soul

Just this tattoo of her name across my soul

Just this tattoo of her name across my soul
