Hoodoo Gurus - Son-Of-A-Gun lyrics

I've landed myself in a jam, I knew it the moment the prison door slammed. I shot a man dead just to show how tough I am. It wasn't planned. The way it went down it was late, I got a bit fresh with some other man's date, He met me outside and that's where he met his fate. (A big mistake) My lawyer said I had no "just cause" And the best I could do was to clutch at straws. Now you son-of-a-gun, look at what you've done. My record was no help at all, I've got a string of convictions since juvenile hall. I stood up in court and they nailed me to the wall. (And that was all...) The jury were sure that I lied. It took all of ten minutes for those good people to decide. The judge hid a smile as he sentenced me with pride. Nobody cried. Now I'm looking at twenty before parole, By the time I get out of here I'll be old. Now you son-of-a-gun, look at what you've done You son-of-a-gun, you're missing all the fun. What I wouldn't give now to have a good time with my friends... And what I wouldn't give now to live my life over again. I'd do it all over again! I'm sick of the everyday grind And in a world without women's about to make me go blind. They say life goes on but, then, I put mine behind. Just doing time. Just doing time. I got the conviction that I was framed But I'll still be stuck in here all the same. Now, you son-of-a-gun, look at what you've done. Yeah, you son-of-a-gun, you're missing all the fun.
