It was just like every other mornin'
The sun was shinin' and it was stormin'
They had words over breakfast
And he said somethin' reckless
Just a solitary slip of the tongue
Another woman's name and it was done
Once you've heard the truth
Stared it in the face
Once you've got the proof
There ain't no hidin' place
It's like thunder crashin' down
Or a freight train runnin' 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 slammin' door
Once you've heard the truth
Stared it in the face
Once you've got the proof
There ain't no hidin' place
It's like thunder crashin' down
Or a freight train runnin' through you
Oh, you won't forget the sound
Once you've heard the truth
No, you won't forget the sound
Once you've heard the truth
It was just like every other mornin'
The sun was shinin' and it was stormin'
