Doing The Time

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I ain't locked in a cell, but I might as well be Heartbreak's a prison eight days a week I ain't been outside, haven't had much to eat I'm still wearing your sweatshirt like it's a jumpsuit on me [Verse 2] I'm in chains either way, mistakes or misfortune The memory's the guard, the anxiety's the warden Keeping me in here, trapped like a rat The thoughts in my mind feel like damn Alcatraz [Chorus] Why am I in here? I'm the innocent one Paying for all of the shit that you've done You're out on the run, knowin' you did the crime Free as a bird while I'm doin' the time [Verse 3] If lying and cheating were deemed first degree Instead of out there with her, you'd be in here with me But you plead the Fifth on a fifth of Jim Beam I reckon some girls you love and some girls you leave [Chorus] Why am I in here? I'm the innocent one Paying for all of the shit that you've done You're out on the run, knowin' you did the crime Free as a bird while I'm doin' the time [Bridge] You ain't called, you ain't checked in Ain't tried to stop by I guess I'm not wanted Dead or alive [Chorus] Why am I in here? I'm the innocent one Paying for all of the shit that you've done You're out on the run, knowin' you did the crime Free as a bird while I'm doin' the time [Outro] I'm doin' the time
