Now, police coming with his ball and chain, hmm Police coming with his ball and chain Now they accusing me of murder Never harmed a man Now, some got six months, some got one solid year, hmm Some got six months, some got one solid year Now me and my buddy Got a lifetime here Now, judge, he pleaded, clerk, he wrote it down, hmm Judge, he pleaded, clerk, he wrote it down If I miss real sentence time Must be Joliet bound Now, cook my supper, let me go today, hmm Cook my supper now, let me go today I've been drinking White Light And it gone to my head Now, quit me, babe, first thing you wanna do, hmm Quit me, baby, first thing you wanna do Someday you gonna want me Said that I would want you too Now, police shift is over, pistol in my side, hmm Police shift is over, pistol in my side If you run, big boy, now Must be born to die When they had my trial, you could not be found, hmm Had my trial, you could not be found And I got all messed up Now I'm Joliet bound
