Here's a little love song
from the Travis County Jail
I spent the last two birthdays
in the Travis County Jail
Tomorrow I go up for life,
but I should go straight to hell
Hell's got no more room for me
and it's got no more time
And I should be confess
ing all my crimes
Well, yes, though my debt
was piled high upon my mind
And I could buy a plan
to rob a bank
just to survive
When the guns were cleared,
I saw two bodies on the ground
Thirteen hours later, I was found
Don't you feel any sorrow
for the man I've been
To the waking of tomorrow,
they will find me full of sin
I got news for you,
I ain't as bad as they say
I got news for you,
looks like that just don't matter today
Oh, let me hear you now
And there's only one place I want to be
when the day is done
That slide, that stone, out of my mind
Wrapped up in your love
Yeah!
My baby's at home with that radio on
A hot meal and a tall stiff drink
I think I'll sing her a lullaby
And I'll watch her fall fast asleep
One day she walked by me
And lightning was striking
And clouds, they were burning black
She swept back her hair
And the clouds, they did stare
As the sunshine pushed its way back
And there's only
one place I want to be
When the day is done
That slide has so long out of my mind
Wrapped up in your love
One more time
Well, there's only one
place I want to be
When the day is done
That's lying there stoned out of my mind
I'm not coming home tonight
Me out to the morning light
I'm not coming home tonight
Cause I'll be out loving you
See rendezvous inside
You're sure looking good tonight
I'm not coming home tonight
Cos I'll be out lovin' you
Cotton girl
Torn from the miles
Cos she had spent on the road
A subtle look
And a seductive smile
I just can't let that lady go
Oh no, I just won't
let that lady go
I'm not coming home tonight
I'll be out till the morning light
I'm not coming home tonight
Cause I'll be out lovin' you
I see rendezvous inside
And you're sure lookin' good tonight
I'm not comin' home tonight
Cause I'll be out lovin' you
I'll be out lovin' you
Yeah, I'll be out lov
in' you
Thank you.
