Intro 1
(G major) (D major) (C major)
Verse 1
(G major) I went down to the county jail
And turned myself in (D major)
Spending all my weekends here
Far from my good-timing friends
friend (G major) s
Things just went from bad to worse
But I don't know (C major) when
The only thing I know (G major) for sure
Is I ain't (D major) going back (G major) again (C major) (G major)

Verse 2
They (G major) took me down to cellblock B
After stripping off my clothes (D major)
Put me in a monkey suit
And threw me in the throes (G major)
Like a rat in a maze
A cow in the herd
Or a sparrow with a broken (C major) wing (C minor)
(C major) Now I know the reason (G major) why
The caged (D major) bird has to (G major) sing
Verse 3
'Cause I'm (D major) just a weekender
In the (C major) Davidson County Jail (G major)
And (D major) my old man, he ain't got the cash
To (C major) even go my bail (G major)
Should have listened to my mama
And quit my life of sin (C major)
Be (G major) fore I went backslid (D major) ing again
(G major)
Verse 4
This bed is hard and the room is cold
And my cellmate's got a cough (D major)
She takes her meds and sleeps all day
Got six more weeks til she's (G major) off
She said she beat her boyfriend up
While high on crack cocaine (C major)
And now she sits and (G major) watches
Her (D major) life go down the (G major) drain
Verse 5
'Cause she's (D major) just a weekender
In the (C major) Davidson County Jail (G major)
(D major) Her old man ain't got the cash
To (C major) even go her bail (G major)
She should have listened to her mama
And quit her life of sin (C major)
Before (G major) she went backsliding (D major) again
(G major)
Interlude 1

Verse 6
Walk into some (G major) other room
They tried to make me eat (D major)
Red-dyed gravy, gravy, cardboard bread
And something that looked like meat (G major)
One tough girl from cellblock C
Picked a fight with the man at the desk (C major)
Mighty soon was sent back (G major) to her room
And I bet (D major) you know the (G major) rest
Verse 7
'Cause we're (D major) all just weekenders
In the (C major) Davidson County Jail (G major)
(D major) My old man ain't got the cash
To (C major) even call my bail (G major)
Should have listened to the good Lord
Maybe quit my life of (C major) sin
Before (G major) I went backsliding (D major) again (G major)
Before I went backsliding (D major) again
(G major)
