Meet Me at the Jailhouse

Wood

Here's the bar, where's the car ?
Take me back to Birmingham
I ain't gonna walk too far
Maybe we could steal a van

I ain't had a meal for weeks
Bring a sack of food outside
Got no money unless we cheat
Go for a little ride

She just got me hung so I won't be long
You can meet me at the jailhouse
Well, they took my mail and my fingernails
Till you meet me at the jailhouse
Come and get all the things you need
('Cause they really gonna kick me down)

This little girl seemed so keen
Stopped me in the country road
Worked the scene, under fifteen
Her momma really got me sold

She just got me hung so I won't be long
You can meet me at the jailhouse
Well, they took my mail and my fingernails
Till you meet me at the jailhouse
Come and get all the things you need
('Cause they really gonna kick me down)
