Story behind the song
This is the first song that Walter and I wrote. We got the idea while watching the O.J. Simpson trial.
Lyrics
“ I REST MY CASE “ Walter Garland Joe Alford VERSE 1 We signed the papers just today, stole a glance and looked away On the day we said “I Do” I thought you meant it too In a courtroom full of strangers you took back your name But through it all I still feel the same CHORUS 1 ‘Cause I’ve been tried and I’ve been true I’m still holding on to you I’ve been driven down to tears by a jury of my peers If my belief in this romance gives justice half a chance Then no one could take your place I rest my case VERSE 2 I had a chance to testify and I swore I would not lie That it broke my heart in two when I saw him holding you So tonight here in our bedroom I will make my last attempt I will lie in bed and hold you in contempt CHORUS 2 ‘Cause I’ve been tried and I’ve been true I’m still holding on to you I’ve been driven down to tears by a jury of my peers If my belief in this romance gives justice half a chance Then no one could take your place I rest my case BRIDGE Every time I close my eyes I find I’m still a witness to the crime CHORUS 3 ‘Cause I’ve been tried and I’ve been true I’m still holding on to you I’ve been driven down to tears by a jury of my peers If my belief in this romance gives justice half a chance Then no one could take your place I rest my case @1997
