Cody Johnson - Guilty As Can Be Lyrics






Once I had me a woman
Everything was goin' my way
She thought I had hung the moon
And she had an angels face
Till' one night I pulled in my drive
and somethin' was goin' on
There was a long bed Ford in my spot
That I damn sure didn't know

So I walked up to the screen door
and I heard this awful noise
I moved on to the living room and there sat my two boys
I said "Where's mama?"
And they both pointed to the bedroom down the hall
Now, I ain't ever been a fightin' man
But red was all I saw

See brother 'cause I've been down and I've been out
And I know how it feels
To stand up for what you think is right
Then get knocked off your heels
And if murderin' a man who didn't understand
Just what she meant to me
Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity
Well then mister I'm as guilty as can be

Well I wish I had me a picture of what his face looked like
When I kicked in my bedroom door and raised my 45
See I ain't the kind to hurt a woman and I hope you understand
But somebody's got to die today
Son it looks like you're the man

See brother 'cause I've been down and I've been out
And I know how it feels
To stand up for what you think is right
Then get knocked off your heels
And if murderin' a man who didn't understand
Just what she meant to me
Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity
Well then mister I'm as guilty as can be

That's what I told that jury
That's what I told that judge
And I knew there'd be hell to pay if I fulfilled my grudge
See I don't mind these prison bars tucked off in these pine trees
One thing about that cheatin' woman
She won't cheat again on me

See brother 'cause I've been down and I've been out
And I know how it feels
To stand up for what you think is right
Then get knocked off your heels
And if murderin' a man who didn't understand
Just what she meant to me
Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity
Well then mister I'm as guilty as can be

I said if murderin' a man who didn't understand
Just what she meant to me
Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity
Well than mister I'm as guilty as can be

Go ahead and lock me up boys
I'm guilty anyways

  13. A.... B....

    This is pretty much a remake of papa loved mama by garth but its good

    A.... B....

    I was thinking Rodeo. At least it's better than the bro "country" garbage.

  14. W.... J....

    love this song

  15. C.... J....

    I see ya Boy

  16. H.... R....

    Holy heck I’m just now finding out about him and he is damn AMAZING!!!

  17. I.... R....

    I just got caught cheating, I feel like the worlds biggest piece of shit and now my life is in shambles yay. I slept with a crazy ex a few days ago and then she sent an insane text to my current gf telling her, women are nuts but I guess it's all my moronic fault. I slipped up with an insane woman and am now fucked. And what makes it worse is that these two women are at my job so I'll probably get fired soon...

  18. C.... D....

    I would’ve shot the fucker

  19. M.... R....

    That's right

  20. L.... S....

    Me too had to put his ass in a lot of fear when i pulled my 357

  21. K.... H....

    hay if yall dislike this than fuck yall.

  22. m.... ....

    OMG I AM SO PISSED, WHENVER THIS HAPPENS TO MEA. FUCK IT GO AHEAD AND CHARGE ME....

  23. S.... C....

    I'm a damn Mexican and I like this guys music

  24. D.... H....

    love this song and e by Matt mason😍

    D.... H....

    Dawn Herzog yes you Are right

  25. S.... J....

    hope no man will ever do that to me so not going to give him a reason to

  26. l.... ....

    My daddy has turned off country radio since early mid 1990s. I'm going to make his day when I tell him I found a new country artist that isn't popish.

    l.... ....

    lisa adkins don't forget about mo pitney Chris Stapleton and the oldies still putting music out

    l.... ....

    Yeah there is a whole bunch, they are just hard to find. Also remember Nashville is the problem, not always the singers. So if you dive into some modern country music singers songs that don't get played on the radio you can find some good tunes. Like Luke Combs: Can I get an Outlaw, Luke Bryan: Here's to the Farmer, Easton Cobin: A little more Country than that, and Justin Moore: pretty much all of his songs not played a lot on the radio.

    l.... ....

    Try Justin Moore, Aaron Watson, and theres many more

    l.... ....

    There are alot still listen to Cody jinks

  27. C.... E....

    That is a cool song

  28. E.... L....

    The same happened to me and I pulled out my 12 gauge and pointed to that boys head he's lucky it jammed

    E.... L....

    you mean miss fired lol when a shotgun jams it means it can't kick the shells out (not trying to be a smart ass it just sticks out to someone who's very formular with guns)

    E.... L....

    redneck63 RHEC you dufus, haha, the first shot was for the girl, then the gun jammed, so the guy got lucky. Haha jk

  29. D.... 2....

    We all have brains. If you think something is happening. It probably is. Walk away.......

  30. W.... P....

    The only long bed ford that's gone be in my drive way is mine

    W.... P....

    Wesley Pearson amen

    W.... P....

    Wouldnt even put a ford in mine lol

    W.... P....

    Yea cuz its broke down and wont move huh?

  31. W.... P....

    Bad ass song

  32. L.... B....

    Great song

  33. r.... h....

    you are a bad ass I love your songs

  34. K.... M....

    The exact same thing happened to me with my first wife. I grabbed my pistol from the closet and turned around to look at them both, when I realized that the fellow banging my wife, nor the slut, herself were not worth the cost of a single bullet, nor me going to prison over.
    It probably scared them more when I tucked the gun under my belt, and turned around and walked out without saying a word to either of them.

    K.... M....

    Got chills reading that. You're one strong willed man. haha

    K.... M....

    Karl Matthews i was engaged to a girl walked in i dint even have any of my guns there but i still beat that sum bitchs ass

    K.... M....

    Trinity Wood Liar, you used your trusted right and left guns that sit between your shoulders and elbows to give him the right, left, right uppercut.

    K.... M....

    If you saw Shawshank:The redemption you will know you did nothing wrong

    K.... M....

    Karl Matthews damn I woulda been scared shitless to

  35. K.... D....

    we can always smoke em....
    ; )

  36. D.... R....

    me and my ex had this same problem and I should of shot that SOB but I walked away

    D.... R....

    Walk away rehab is the song for you

    D.... R....

    A woman ain't worth 25 to life brother.

    D.... R....

    Also framed by chris knight and another mans woman by brian davis

    D.... R....

    Dakota Rivero I’ve done prison time and it ain’t worth 25 to life man. Just saying.

    D.... R....

    Should have ripped her pussy out.

  37. M.... H....

    Song starts around 27 seconds for those that don't care for waitin

    Joshua Kelley Crime of passion doesn’t make it not a crime...

    p.... h....

    Til death do us part, though I don't think I'd kill either of them, drag them both out into the street nude, yes, that woman would also never see a penny from me in alimony.
