Here's a little love song
from the Travis County Jail
I spent the last two birthdays
in the Travis County Jail
Tomorrow I go up for life,
but I should go straight to hell
Hell's got no more room for me
and it's got no more time
Well, yes, though my debt
was piled high upon my mind
When the guns were cleared,
I saw two bodies on the ground
Thirteen hours later, I was found
Don't you feel any sorrow
To the waking of tomorrow,
they will find me full of sin
I ain't as bad as they say
looks like that just don't matter today
And there's only one place I want to be
That slide, that stone, out of my mind
My baby's at home with that radio on
A hot meal and a tall stiff drink
I think I'll sing her a lullaby
And I'll watch her fall fast asleep
And lightning was striking
And clouds, they were burning black
And the clouds, they did stare
As the sunshine pushed its way back
That slide has so long out of my mind
That's lying there stoned out of my mind
I'm not coming home tonight
Me out to the morning light
I'm not coming home tonight
Cause I'll be out loving you
You're sure looking good tonight
I'm not coming home tonight
Cos I'll be out lovin' you
Cos she had spent on the road
I just can't let that lady go
I'm not coming home tonight
I'll be out till the morning light
I'm not coming home tonight
Cause I'll be out lovin' you
And you're sure lookin' good tonight
I'm not comin' home tonight
Cause I'll be out lovin' you
