People in the back ground talking: Care for another Martini? I could wet my whistle Brandy Sir? Bartender I really did it this time Broke my parole to have a good time When I got home it was six a.m. The door was locked so I kicked it in She was trippin' on the bills I think she was high on some pills She threw my shit out into the yard Then she called me a bum and slapped me real hard And in my drunken stupor I did what I should have never done And now I'm sittin' here, talking to you Drunk and on the run I'm sittin' at a bar on the inside Waitin' for my ride on the outside She stole my heart, in the trailer park So I jacked the keys to her fuckin' car Crashed that piece of shit and then stepped away And I know I'll probably get ten years So just give me beers till they get here Yeah I know the sun is comin' up And y'all are probably gettin' ready for closin' up But I'm trying to drown my soul I'm tired of this life on the dirt road Everything that I love is gone And I'm tired of hangin' on I'm sittin' at a bar on the inside Waitin' for my ride on the outside She stole my heart, in the trailer park So I jacked the keys to her fuckin' car And crashed that piece of shit an' then stepped away Yes it was meant to be Romance is misery So much for memories And now I am headed to the penitentiary See me on TV The next cop series I am a danger I guess I should have did something about my anger But I never learn Real things I don't concern I pour kerosene on everything I love And watch it burn I know it's my fault But I wasn't happy it was over She threw a fit So I crashed that piece of shit over And now I'm goin' back again Back to the pen to see my friends When we all file off that county van They'll ask me where I've been I've been at a bar on the inside Waitin' for my ride on the outside She stole my heart, in the trailer park So I jacked the keys to her fuckin? car I crashed that piece of shit an' then stepped away Fades out: Laa laa la laa la la laa laa laa la la la laa Hey Laa Laa laa la laa la la laa laa laa la la la laa Hey you bastard Laa Laa laa la laa la la laa laa laa la la la laa [Fades out]
