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
