Jailbird

Well I couldn't think of a worse place of waking up Than in the back of a car with my hands tied up in cuffs See it was getting late and I was tired I'm guessing my brain was past expired So I pulled off the road, thought I'd take a rest But the funny thing about that very night Is that I fell me fast asleep at a traffic light So now I'm a jailbird singing Sitting in a cell to my life I'm clinging As the no-good-low-life-convicts are staring me down Just hoping that the phone goes ringing It's my love on the line with the bail she's bringing So this jailbird is free to get on out Well Officer Key I think it was his name Was relieved when he came up and knocked on my window pane No sir I wasn't ready to run Not starting trouble, just had me too much fun Four A.M. hit me just a little too hard And I did my very best to walk that line But the officer just said "You're doing time" So now I'm a jailbird singing Sitting in a cell to my life I'm clinging As the no-good-low-life-convicts are staring me down Just hoping that the phone goes ringing It's my love on the line with the bail she's bringing So this jailbird is free to get on out I got the mugshot to prove it Oh Lord its like I'm always losing So now I'm a jailbird singing Sitting in a cell to my life I'm clinging As the no-good-low-life-convicts are starring me down Just hoping that the phone goes ringing It's my love on the line with the bail she's bringing So this jailbird is free to get on out
