I was watching every night as he crept out the door
With a bottle in his hand and his arms around a whore
By the morning he crawls back to the courtroom on the bench
With a bible by his side
When they brought me in the room, Oh, he had his mind made up
Shouted “Thirty years to life!” and they slapped my hands in cuffs
As they dragged me down the hall, Oh, I shouted out his name
Singing “Boy, I won’t be long!”
Now I’ve broken down these bars and I know
What you’re doing every night and where you go
Boy, we’re guilty of the same sins and so
Got your sentence behind your door!
And I’ll be waiting up tonight when he comes stumblin’ in
With my pistol in my hand and my belly full of gin
I got fire in my eyes and my patience wearing thin
Best go let the jury know looks like I’m coming home again
