Youuuu,  we're  caught in the  act of  sniffing  glue  and
youuu  just keep  getting high  now so what  can I do?
 The jail  man took me  away
 On what would  have been our wedding  day
I'm  all lost  out here  at the bar
Playing guitar,  living  out of my car
There's  no more glue,  but I'll see you
 Ref.
 I'm just a jailbird  (for your love)
 I'm just a jailbird  honey
 Marking years on the wall
 I got some sniffing  to do
 To get as high as you
Weeeee  stuck rubber  cement into  the fair,
rode  all the rides,  but you wanted  to fly,
 So you jumped  off into  the air.
 The neon  lights and cotton candy  skies,
 Couldn't bring  you down from those highs,
 Oh now, you're  so sad,  oh girl,
I  see you talking  to a squirrel  (?)
Kissing  its lips,  why not mine?  (So  kiss me please!)
 I'm just a jailbird  (for your love)
 I'm just a jailbird  honey
 Marking years on the wall
 I got some sniffing  to do
 To get as high as you
 When The jail  man take me  away
 I won't cry,  I'll just obey.
 Oh now, you're  so sad,  oh girl,
I  see you  on the Tilt-a-Whirl,
Kissing  its lips,  why not mine?  (So  kiss me please!)
 I'm just a jailbird  (for your love)
 I'm just a jailbird  honey
 Marking years on the wall
 I got some sniffing  to do
 To get as high as you
 ( )  ( )
 would be nice if someone could correct the lyrics
