My Jailhouse Rock

Sometimes a con will look so good
Dancin with the devil but it feels so good
Charmin like an angel but he's up to no good
Gonna fool you with the glazed over eyes
That shit eatin grin aint no disguise
You fooled me once but you wont fool me twice

See, the Jailhouse aint for the faint of heart
You don't have to be locked up to be a part
In and out every weekend
Lookin through a glass
Sometimes in orange or black and white
Chains on his feet and a gleam in his eye
Five minutes left then its quittin time
Just another day in the life of my jailhouse rock

Well turns out throwin money on some books
Aint always just how it looks
Put twenty here and forty there
Baby send me some nudies and stamp it twice
Gonna keep on hustlin if it takes all night
Don't forget to send that letter
To another girl

See, the Jailhouse aint for the faint of heart
You don't have to be locked up to be a part
In and out every weekend
Lookin through a glass
Sometimes in orange or black and white
Chains on his feet and a gleam in his eye
Five minutes left then its quittin time
Just another day in the life of my jailhouse rock

One day in a moment in the blink of an eye
It was a slap in the face I started to cry
Freedoms sky busted open wide
See I ran away for a long long time
Shackles held me down but the light had to shine
Thought id lost it all
Now I'm thankful for My jailhouse rock

See, the Jailhouse aint' for the faint of heart
You don't have to be locked up to be a part
In and out every weekend
Lookin' through a glass
Sometimes in orange or black and white
Chains on his feet and a gleam in his eye
Five minutes left then its quittin' time
Just another day in the life of my jailhouse rock

Its true what the good book says
Don't cast a stone
Or you'll wind up dead
