lyrics
A man went to prison, he broke all the rules
He spends all his time now with thieves, liars, and fools
He sleeps in a bunk bed, he works washing clothes
You ask what he’s in for, he’ll say lord only knows
He wrote to the governor from the desk in his cell
Said, “Ma’am, how are you? I’m not doing too well.”
He asked, “What’s the reason for these laws that you make?”
She wrote back, “Folks gotta have something they can break.”
The night he got busted, he collapsed on my lawn
I watched from my window, didn’t turn the light on
Saw ‘em put him in handcuffs, saw him stuffed in the car
For a second I hoped they wouldn’t take him too far
Now the view from his window just fills him with dread
When he looks to the sky, sees a plane overhead
But what happened before this, well it seems he forgot
‘Cause first comes the love and then the holes in the plot
No one ever writes me, but today on a whim
I opened my mailbox, found a letter from him
Said, “The bars are so real here, but the feeling is fake.”
I wrote back, “Folks gotta have something they can break.”
