Once You've Heard the Truth

It was just like every other morning
The sun was shining
It was storming
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

[Chorus]
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 running through you
No, you won't forget the sound
Once you've heard the truth

She threw her wedding ring
And it rolled across the floor
She didn't say a thing
But he heard that slamming door

[Chorus]

No, you won't forget the sound
Once you've heard the truth
It was just like every other morning
The sun was shining
It was storming
