Dan O'rourke - Jailbird Lyrics

Well I couldn't think of a worse place of waking up
Than in the back of a car with my hands tied up in cuffs
See it was getting late and I was tired
I'm guessing my brain was past expired
So I pulled off the road, thought I'd take a rest
But the funny thing about that very night
Is that I fell me fast asleep at a traffic light

So now I'm a jailbird singing
Sitting in a cell to my life I'm clinging
As the no-good-low-life-convicts are staring me down
Just hoping that the phone goes ringing
It's my love on the line with the bail she's bringing
So this jailbird is free to get on out

Well Officer Key I think it was his name
Was relieved when he came up and knocked on my window pane
No sir I wasn't ready to run
Not starting trouble, just had me too much fun
Four A.M. hit me just a little too hard
And I did my very best to walk that line
But the officer just said "You're doing time"

So now I'm a jailbird singing
Sitting in a cell to my life I'm clinging
As the no-good-low-life-convicts are staring me down
Just hoping that the phone goes ringing
It's my love on the line with the bail she's bringing
So this jailbird is free to get on out

I got the mugshot to prove it
Oh Lord its like I'm always losing

So now I'm a jailbird singing
Sitting in a cell to my life I'm clinging
As the no-good-low-life-convicts are starring me down
Just hoping that the phone goes ringing
It's my love on the line with the bail she's bringing
So this jailbird is free to get on out
