Emptying out my pocket's things
Wonderin' why the caged bird sings
Charged for 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
Well, here inside this prison cell
I keep remembering
My parole officer was the purtyist thing
CHORUS
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 smart
But I still know your number by heartDreaming 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
I let no affection follow me
Across the county line
And I've seen how drugs and alcohol
Can get your dander up
But for your assurance, I'll pee in a cup
CHORUS
I saw a statue of a lady
Justice was her name
And I knew the balance that she held
Would some day shift my way
Some poet said that love's blind, too
But I could see its plan
As that little job I pulled last year
Some day made me your manI dream of breaking out
Your pull is so intense
The hounds of love
Keep barking through that fence
But I know in three to five
I'll miss you even more
I pray my file
Comes knocking at your door
CHORUS
To come.
