Emptied out my pocket's things
Wondered why the caged bird sings
Charged with the same dang crime
Sentenced for the third dang time
I'm not innocent
I never said I was
But my lawyer doesn't have a tongue like Jesse Jackson does
But here inside this prison cell, I keep remembering
My parole officer was the prettiest thing
And I still know your number by heart
Even though you no longer play a part
Well, I don't know if it's love or if I'm smart
But I still know your number by heart
Dreaming of the hours we spent
Sure beats breaking up cement
We were introduced by fate
Sort of like a first blind date
Our secret rendezvous set free this heart of mine
Not knowing that you'd follow me across the county line
And I've seen how d** and alcohol can get your dander up
But for your charms I'd pee in any cup
I saw a statue of a lady
Justice was her name
And I knew the balance that she held would some day tip my way
Some poet said that love's blind, too, but I can see its plan
And that little job I pulled last year someday made me your man
I dream of breaking out
Your pull is so intense
The hounds of love keep barking through the fence
But I know in three to five I'll need you even more
I pray my file comes knocking at your door
