    Verse 1
    I 
    went 
    down 
    to 
    the county 
    jail 

    And 
    turned 
    myself 
    in

    Spending 
    all 
    my 
    weekends 
    here 

    Far 
    from 
    my 
    good-timing 
    friends 

    friend
    s 

    Things 
    just 
    went 
    from 
    bad 
    to 
    worse 

    But 
    I 
    don't 
    know 
    when 

    The only 
    thing 
    I 
    know 
    for sure 

    Is 
    I 
    ain't 
    going 
    back 
    again 

    Verse 2
    They 
    took 
    me 
    down 
    to 
    cellblock B 

    After 
    stripping 
    off 
    my 
    clothes 

    Put 
    me 
    in 
    a 
    monkey 
    suit 

    And 
    threw 
    me 
    in 
    the 
    throes 

    Like 
    a 
    rat 
    in 
    a 
    maze 

    A 
    cow 
    in the 
    herd 

    Or 
    a sparrow 
    with 
    a 
    broken 
    wing 

    Now 
    I 
    know 
    the 
    reason 
    why 

    The 
    caged 
    bird 
    has 
    to 
    sing 

    Verse 3
    'Cause 
    I'm 
    just 
    a 
    weekender 

    In 
    the 
    Davidson 
    County 
    Jail 

    And 
    my 
    old 
    man, 
    he ain't 
    got 
    the 
    cash 

    To 
    even 
    go 
    my 
    bail 

    Should 
    have 
    listened 
    to 
    my 
    mama 

    And 
    quit 
    my 
    life 
    of sin 

    Be
    fore 
    I 
    went 
    backslid
    ing 
    again 

    Verse 4

    This 
    bed 
    is 
    hard 
    and 
    the 
    room 
    is 
    cold 

    And 
    my 
    cellmate's got 
    a cough 

    She 
    takes 
    her 
    meds and 
    sleeps 
    all 
    day 

    Got 
    six 
    more 
    weeks 
    til 
    she's 
    off 

    She 
    said 
    she 
    beat 
    her 
    boyfriend 
    up 

    While 
    high 
    on 
    crack 
    co
    caine 

    And 
    now 
    she 
    sits 
    and 
    watches 

    Her 
    life 
    go 
    down 
    the 
    drain 

    Verse 5
    'Cause 
    she's 
    just 
    a 
    weekender 

    In the 
    Davidson 
    County 
    Jail 

    Her 
    old 
    man 
    ain't 
    got 
    the 
    cash 

    To 
    even 
    go 
    her 
    bail 

    She 
    should 
    have listened 
    to 
    her 
    mama 

    And 
    quit 
    her 
    life 
    of 
    sin 

    Be
    fore 
    she 
    went 
    back
    sliding 
    again 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 6
    Walk 
    into 
    some 
    other 
    room 

    They 
    tried 
    to make 
    me 
    eat 

    Red-dyed 
    gravy, 
    gravy, 
    cardboard 
    bread 

    And 
    something 
    that 
    looked 
    like 
    meat 

    One 
    tough 
    girl 
    from 
    cellblock C 

    Picked 
    a fight 
    with 
    the man 
    at 
    the 
    desk 

    Mighty 
    soon 
    was 
    sent 
    back 
    to 
    her 
    room 

    And 
    I 
    bet 
    you 
    know 
    the 
    rest 

    Verse 7
    'Cause 
    we're 
    all 
    just 
    weekenders 

    In 
    the 
    Davidson 
    County 
    Jail 

    My 
    old 
    man 
    ain't 
    got 
    the 
    cash 

    To 
    even 
    call 
    my 
    bail 

    Should 
    have 
    listened 
    to 
    the 
    good 
    Lord 

    Maybe 
    quit 
    my 
    life 
    of 
    sin 

    Be
    fore 
    I 
    went 
    back
    sliding 
    again 

    Before 
    I 
    went 
    back
    sliding 
    again

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
