Oh Lord, have mercy on me I swear this time it's love in the first degree I got no one but myself to blame Just a foolish heart temporarily insane Taking my chances, I've made some mistakes Lord knows I've done my time I can't win from losin' Well, that's just the brakes 'Cause love is an honest crime Oh girl, help me save my soul From a lonely life sentence with no parole If I'm convicted, I know too well They're gonna send me back to heartbreak hotel Taking my chances, I'm raisin' the stakes I'm gonna roll the dice just one more time Well, I plead guilty if that's what it takes 'Cause love is an honest crime Well, I don't need to lie to you, baby I'm layin' my heart on the line We can talk about this and that But we both know where it's at Love is an honest crime Taking my chances, I'm raisin' the stakes I'm gonna roll the dice just one more time Well, I plead guilty if that's what it takes 'Cause love is an honest crime Guitars: Joe Bonamassa Bass: Greg Smith Guitar End Solo: Andy Timmons
