She: Im crying, jailhouse tears
and Ive been trying all these years
Been trying to ride things out
but now Im shifting gears
and were both crying jailhouse tears
He: They say I broke the law
now everything is broken down
She: babe I know what I saw
I know you went downtown.
He: I went to the corner
to get a cold six pack
She: Youre a drunk youre a stoner
you never came back.
He: They locked me up
and you locked me out
She: You tried to steal my truck, but
Thats not what this is about
He: I used to be a user
but now Im all out of stuff
She: Youre a 3 time loser
youre all fucked up
He and She together
Im crying, jailhouse tears
and Ive been trying all these years
Been trying to ride things out
but now Im shifting gears
and were both crying jailhouse tears
He: Ill prove it to you somehow
Im done with every bit
look at me, Im clean now
She: youre so full of shit
He: I swear I will tell all
look in my dresser drawers
She: Now Im behind the 8-ball
youre behind bars.
he and she together) X 2
