I'm crying jailhouse tears<br>
And I've been trying all these years
And I've been trying all these years<br>
 
I'm trying to ride things out but now I've shifted gears<br>
I'm trying to ride things out but now I've shifted gears
And we're both crying jailhouse tears<br>
 
<br>
And we're both crying jailhouse tears
They say I broke the law<br>
 
Now everything's broken down<br>
 
Babe, I know what I saw<br>
They say I broke the law
I know you went downtown<br>
 
<br>
Now everything's broken down
They locked me up<br>
 
And you locked me out<br>
Babe, I know what I saw
You tried to steal my truck but<br>
 
That's not what this is about<br>
I know you went downtown
<br>
 
I just went to the corner<br>
 
To get a cold six pack<br>
They locked me up
You're a drunk, you're a stoner<br>
 
You never came back<br>
And you locked me out
<br>
 
I used to be a user<br>
You tried to steal my truck but
Now I'm out of stuff<br>
 
You're a three time loser<br>
That's not what this is about
You're all fucked up<br>
 
<br>
 
And I'm crying jailhouse tears<br>
I just went to the corner
And I've been trying all these years<br>
 
I'm trying to ride things out but now I've shifted gears<br>
To get a cold six pack
And we're both crying jailhouse tears<br>
 
<br>
You're a drunk, you're a stoner
I'll prove it to you somehow<br>
 
I'm done with every bit<br>
You never came back
Look at me I'm clean now<br>
 
You're so full of shit<br>
 
<br>
I used to be a user
I swear I will tell all<br>
 
Look in my dresser drawers<br>
Now I'm out of stuff
Now I'm behind the 8-ball<br>
 
And you're behind bars<br>
You're a three time loser
<br>
 
And I'm crying jailhouse tears<br>
You're all f**ked up
And I've been trying all these years<br>
 
Been trying to ride things out but now I've shifted gears<br>
 
And we're both crying jailhouse tears<br>
And I'm crying jailhouse tears
<br>
 
I'm crying jailhouse tears<br>
And I've been trying all these years
And I've been trying all these years<br>
 
I'm trying to ride things out but now I've shifted gears<br>
I'm trying to ride things out but now I've shifted gears

lyrics for
Jailhouse Tears

I'm crying jailhouse tears
And I've been trying all these years
I'm trying to ride things out but now I've shifted gears
And we're both crying jailhouse tears

They say I broke the law
Now everything's broken down
Babe, I know what I saw
I know you went downtown

They locked me up
And you locked me out
You tried to steal my truck but
That's not what this is about

I just went to the corner
To get a cold six pack
You're a drunk, you're a stoner
You never came back

I used to be a user
Now I'm out of stuff
You're a three time loser
You're all fucked up

And I'm crying jailhouse tears
And I've been trying all these years
I'm trying to ride things out but now I've shifted gears
And we're both crying jailhouse tears

I'll prove it to you somehow
I'm done with every bit
Look at me I'm clean now
You're so full of shit

I swear I will tell all
Look in my dresser drawers
Now I'm behind the 8-ball
And you're behind bars

And I'm crying jailhouse tears
And I've been trying all these years
Been trying to ride things out but now I've shifted gears
And we're both crying jailhouse tears

I'm crying jailhouse tears
And I've been trying all these years
I'm trying to ride things out but now I've shifted gears
And we're both crying jailhouse tears

We're both crying jailhouse tears
