Long before the screen door slammed, she was out of xenia
A stranger could have loved that town, but she had to leave
I wish I'd gotten to know her before I fell in love
I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this
cautionary tale
But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear
Til kitten's out of jail
It was like a TV show, the way she stole that car
Easy now to criticize, easy now to talk
I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong
I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this
cautionary tale
But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear
Til kitten's out of jail
Didn't want to be a slave
just turned out that way
(Organ solo:listen for the rythm)
I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong
I could say she's to blame, say she's the man in this
cautionary tale
But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear
Til kitten's out of jail
(Repeat this couple times, then end on )
