Smoking Gun

Verse

It was purely circumstantial

But the optics were bad.

To the cops I was the fall guy.

Their case was in the bag.

I didn’t have an alibi.

They placed me at the scene.

My prints were on the forty five.

A witness ID’d me.

Chorus

I was the one holding.

Holding the smoking gun.

Holding the smoking gun.

Holding the smoking gun.

Verse

It was purely fabrication.

Not one damn word was true.

They needed to find a patsy

And I was passing thru.

I didn’t have a lawyer.

The court assigned me one.

Was his first case out of law school.

I was as good as done.

Chorus

I was the one holding.

Holding the smoking gun.

Holding the smoking gun.

Holding the smoking gun.

Bridge

It’s just a figure of speech you know.

I’m an innocent man.

An example how money can buy

A sacrificial lamb.

Holding the smoking gun.

Holding the smoking gun.

Holding the smoking gun.
