There was a time
when I thought
I had it made,
had a fine, fine woman
who loved me every day.
Rumors started flying,
people saying I’ve done you wrong,
don’t you know they’ve been lying
cause my love is so strong
but you know
I’m innocent of the crime
I’ve been accused.
I’m innocent
I’ve got nothing left to prove,
I’ve faced the judge and the jury
and I swear I’ll tell the truth,
if I’m guilty of anything,
I’m guilty of loving you.
I trust in you and
I thought that you trusted me.
It never crossed
my mind that you would ever, ever leave
and even after all this time
it’s so hard to understand
why you think
I’ve wronged you and now
your with some other man.
I’m innocent of the crime
I’m being accused.
I’m innocent, I’ve got nothing left to prove,
I faced the judge and jury
and I swear I’ll tell the truth
if I’m guilty of anything
I’m guilty of loving you.
I am innocent of the crime
I’ve been accused.
I’m innocent
I’ve got nothing left to prove.
I’ve faced the judge and jury
and I swear I’ll tell the truth,
if I’m guilty of anything
I’m guilty of loving you,
it must be because
I’m innocent.
You know deep down in your heart
that it’s true, that it’s true you know
I’m innocent.

About, Chris Anderson (guitar/vocals) and Johnny Neel (keyboard/vocals) teamed up to form the band Rattlebone, with Dennis Gulley (bass/vocals) and Daryl Burgess(drums/vocals), bringing you the best blend of Southern Rock and Blues.
A gifted lead guitarist and singer-songwriter, Anderson grew up in Sarasota sharing local stages with Dickey Betts and other members of the Allman Brothers Band before joining Grinderswitch. In the mid-1980s, Anderson became a member of the Outlaws, spending years elating crowds while leading the guitar attack on such classic rock staples as their epic jam “Green Grass and High Tides,” as well as playing in the country music group Blackhawk featuring members of the Outlaws.
RattleBone features another musician with an impressive Southern rock resume, Johnny Neel, the keyboardist and singer who joined the Dickey Betts Band and then Allman Brothers for their highly successful “Seven Turns” comeback album and tour in the early ’90s. Like Anderson, Neel lives in Nashville and the two often do session work for records by other musicians.
