Lyrics

[Chorus: ERNEST, Jelly Roll, ERNEST & Jelly Roll] I went to college, and I went to jail One was a dorm room, one was a cell Who came out on top? Hell, it's hard to tell I went to college, and I went to jail [Verse 1: ERNEST] We both grew up in the 6-1-5 Both sides of the train tracks Had two different lives Both sons of sinners, needing set free We met at a party over big bags of weed [Chorus: ERNEST, Jelly Roll, ERNEST & Jelly Roll] And I went to college, I went to jail One was a dorm room, one was a cell Who came out on top? Hell, it's hard to tell I went to college, and I went to jail [Verse 2: ERNEST, Jelly Roll] Well, I was supposеd to go four years and quit after one I was sеntenced to seven, but after four, I was done Well, I burned all my books, I stayed up and read I could've been a doctor, I should've been dead [Chorus: ERNEST, Jelly Roll, ERNEST & Jelly Roll] And I went to college, I went to jail One was a dorm room, one was a cell Who came out on top? Hell, it's hard to tell I went to college, and I went to jail [Bridge: ERNEST, Jelly Roll, ERNEST & Jelly Roll] Well, who could've figured? And who could've known? We'd both wind up working down on music row With ten years hard labor we've both paid our dues I'm singing that country, I'm singing them blues [Chorus: ERNEST, Jelly Roll, ERNEST & Jelly Roll] And I went to college, and I went to jail One was a dorm room, one was a cell Who came out on top? Hell, it's hard to tell I went to college, I went to jail [Outro: ERNEST, Jelly Roll] I went to college And I went 448 2nd Avenue North of Criminal Justice Center To jail
