I was working as a security guard at BFI in King and Queen County, Va., and I had a lot of spare time, so I wrote this song.

SHE DID THE CRIME I fell deep in Love the day I met her. In
Blindness I felt she could do no wrong. I
wanted to be with that girl forever. But That
was long before I wrote this song.
We started spending every night together.
My world was getting brighter every day.
I wanted to be with that girl forever.I never
dreamed that I would ever say.
She did the Crime and I did the Time. There's no
such thing as justice anymore. She stole my
heart and tore my world apart. She threw away my
happiness and locked the door. I testified in my
heart's defense, but her cheatin' litigation made
a plea. She lied and got aquitted and destroyed the
evidence,thats how She did the Crime and I did the
time(instrumental break)
It started with a phone call from her mother.
A family friend was comin' into Town. The friend turned out to be
her other lover. Now there in Love and my world's
upside down. I cought her makin Love to him one
Mornin'. It must have been before the break of
dawn. My sorrow turned to rage and then I shot her.
Now the only one I ever loved is gone.
She did the Crime and I did the Time. There's no
such thing as justice anymore. She stole my
heart and tore my world apart. She threw away my
happiness and locked the door. I testified in my
heart's defense, but her cheatin' litigation made
a plea. She lied and got aquitted and destroyed the
evidence,thats how She did the Crime and I did the
time. Yeah She did the crime and I did the time
