Lyrics Out Of Jail - Waylon Jennings
I
sat
at
a
bar
having
a
beer
Trying
to
hold
down
the
stool
When
a
stranger
walked
in
stood
there
beside
me
And
plopped
down
there
like
a
fool.
He
started
drinking
then
he
started
talking
About
things
that
were
wrong
in
his
life
The
more
that
I
heard
the
more
I
believed
The
thing
that
was
wrong
was
his
wife.
You
talk
about
beauty
when
we
first
met
She
was
all
a
man
could
desire
Talk
about
love
one
night
with
her
Would
set
your
very
soul
on
fire.
But
loves
little
flame
is
out
of
control
About
three
feet
high
from
behind
Ever
since
we've
been
married
well,
I've
come
to
believe
That
love's
for
the
dumb
and
the
blind.
'Cause
you
talk
about
ugly
when
she
gets
mad
She
goes
from
Jekill
to
Hyde
She
grits
her
teeth
and
her
eyes
roll
back
And
pivot
from
side
to
side.
She
completely
rewrites
the
whole
English
language
Descriptive
four
lettered
and
loud
Now
I
can't
out
think
her
but
I
can
sure
out
drink
her
And
that's
what
I'm
doing
here
now.
I've
spent
seven
years
with
the
wrong
woman
Seven
and
going
on
eight
She
spent
seven
years
naggin'
and
eatin'
I'm
overwrought
and
she's
overweight.
If
I
try
leavin'
she
has
me
arrested
And
takes
her
own
sweet
time
gettin'
me
out
If
she
ain't
number
one
she's
in
the
top
two
Of
things
that
I
could
live
without.
Men
commit
murder
and
all
kinds
of
mayhem
In
a
few
years
they're
back
on
the
streets
Highway
robbery
and
white
collar
crime
And
they
laugh
at
the
system
they
beat.
Sometimes
I'm
tempted
sometimes
I'm
ashamed
Of
the
things
that
the
law
will
allow
I
could
have
killed
her
when
I
first
met
her
And
I'd
have
been
out
of
jail
by
now.
I
could
have
killed
her
when
we
first
met
And
I've
have
been
out
of
jail
by
now...
