You're Goin' Back To Jail

We start fresh when you are free in the eyes of the law And saved in the eyes of God Amen (Praise the Lord, Thank you Jesus) We can't spend our whole lives hidin' Buck That ain't no way to live (Nuh uh, you hear that Buck?) It is time to wipe the slate clean Ask the good lord to forgive (Amen, praise the Lord, Thank you Jesus twice) You gotta serve your sentence without fail (Ooh, buckle up!) Buck, you are goin' back to jail What the hell you talkin' about Won't be scared to turn a corner Or to open our front door When you're on the side of justice You ain't nervous of the law Now pull yourself together because you've gone pale Buck, you are goin' back to jail Baby, you don't know what its like in there I know its hard to share a cell When you've got nothin' to look at Except prisoners who smell But when you're done When you have served your time We'll still be young and in our prime Ain't been free more than a minute Ain't had time to change my shirt Ive been dreamin' of a hot meal With you as my dessert Bring your face close to mine and just let me inhale Buck, you are goin' back to jail But baby We'll call the sheriff and tell him you're turning yourself in right after church tomorrow Blanche! It's gonnna be just as hard on me, daddy Stella, you know what its like havin' a husband in jail Tell him how hard it is not havin' Carl around Are you kiddin'? It's a treat to get my nails done And have time to read a book (Stella) Sure beats washing out his long-johns It's a pleasure not to cook (Okay, that's enough) Thank God those prison walls are much too tall to scale My darlin's nice and safe in jail I don't want her comin' 'round here no more Trish's husband's been in jail two years and she's miserable without her man At first I really missed him I thought I would waste away Then I met this boy from Tucson And he owned a Chevrolet (That's enough) He had a lot of things that my Joe lacked Like teeth and hair and cash to be exact I've now got lots of habits I can't curtail (Amen) I gotta keep him locked in jail Keep 'em inside Keep 'em inside If we see 'em once a month We will be more than satisfied Ain't that the truth Don't mean to be unkind Can't put a price on peace of mind Blanche I ain't like these other women I will wait 'til kingdom come I want the world to see that I ain't married to some bum It will be hard for us but we'll come through I can't believe what you are askin' me to do One thing's for certain, our love wont go stale (Jesus, close your eyes) Blanche, I ain't goin' back Yes Buck, you're goin' back (But baby) Tomorrow he'll be back in jail
