Sean Mcconnell - Jail Time lyrics

rate me

Hey there boy what have you done?

Sold your soul at twenty-one

There’s still time to up and run

Here’s your last chance

I’m sure now it seems just fine

But down the road at thirty-nine

There ain’t no such thing as fairy tale romance

‘Cause you’ll have to spend your Christmas

Makin’ small talk with her folks

She’ll use up all your razors

Clean up all your jokes

She’ll stick you in a church

Every Sunday ‘til you die

And even then she’ll pray as she cries

It’s jail time, jail time

Sheriff, come take me to jail

Give me life, post no bail

Tie me to my ball and chain

I’d never wanna leave her anyway

No, I’d never wanna leave her anyway

Sign those papers cut and dry

You can kiss your life goodbye

No more cruisin’ downtown for single chicks

Sell your convertible buy a van

You’ll feel like a lesser man

When you rev that engine just to get your kicks

She’ll make you leave the tv

When the children need a ride

She’ll tell you to quit drinkin’

She’ll make you smoke outside

She’ll make you say “I love you”

When she knows you’re with your friends

That ain’t it, that ain’t where it ends

It’s jail time, jail time

When your pushin’ comes to shove

You’ll fall in and out of love

Paycheck-to-paycheck and day-to-day

When that time comes, please know

I hate to say I told you so

But someone long ago said you’d end up that way
