Discover the story of the song > The Third Degree – Aaron Lewis

The protagonist is being accused of a crime he didn't commit and being interrogated intensely, which is called the "third degree". He's saying that he didn't mean to cause any trouble or harm anyone, he was just minding his own business. The person he is in a relationship with came to visit him with some peaches, and everyone noticed that she was with him. Other people want her for themselves. One day, while the protagonist was sitting with the peaches, he heard her crying for help and then found blood on the ground. Then, she was taken away from him as a result of the intense interrogation. It's like they're treating him really unfairly.
