What's this song about?

1
Well, I wrote a story
2
Got put in the paper
3
About all the bridges I've burned
4
For the last part I lied
5
But you know it don't matter
6
'Cause they'll print anything that's a cert
7
And if I was a shadow
8
On a long, lonely gallows
9
They'd hang me and pull off my lip
10
'Cause making up stories was all I could do
11
And you know that the truth ain't worth shit
12
Now, so much has happened
13
Since I ran with the Union
14
And the ink never dried in the grass
15
Well, the numbers got plenty
16
I assure you that many
17
Had been added by me for a gas
18
And if I was a shadow
19
On a long, lonely gallows
20
They'd hang me and cut off my lip
21
'Cause making up stories was all I could do
22
And you know that the truth ain't worth shit
23
My home was the scene of
24
A quarrelsome Mary
25
Who flared up whenever I spoke
26
So I'd write her some letters
27
Washed down in adventure
28
And my bed would be lonely no more
29
And if I was a shadow
30
On a long, lonely gallows
31
They'd hang me and cut off my lip
32
'Cause making up stories was all I could do
33
And you know that the truth ain't worth shit
34
And if I was a shadow
35
On a long, lonely gallows
36
They'd hang me and cut off my lip
37
'Cause making up stories was all I could do
38
And you know that the truth ain't worth shit
39
And if I was a shadow
40
On a long, lonely gallows
41
They'd hang me and cut off my lip
42
'Cause making up stories was all I could do
43
And you know that the truth ain't worth shit
