Fresh out the slammer

[00:10.89] Now, pretty baby, I'm runnin' back home to you

[00:21.77] Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to

[00:30.00] (Fresh out the slammer, oh)

[00:32.93] Another summer takin' cover, rolling thunder

[00:36.91] He don't understand me

[00:43.55] Splintered back in winter, silent dinners, bitter

[00:47.80] He was with her in dreams

[00:54.49] Gray and blue and fights and tunnels

[00:57.41] Handcuffed to the spell I was under

[01:00.88] For just one hour of sunshine

[01:05.40] Years of labor, locks, and ceilings

[01:08.32] In the shade of how he was feeling

[01:11.77] But it's gonna be alright, I did my time

[01:16.29] Now, pretty baby, I'm runnin' back home to you

[01:26.38] Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to

[01:35.41] (Fresh out the slammer, oh)

[01:38.07] Camera flashes, welcome bashes, get the matches

[01:42.07] Toss the ashes off the ledge

[01:47.96] As I said in my letters, now that I know better

[01:52.75] I will never lose my baby again

[01:59.64] My friends tried, but I wouldn't hear it

[02:02.83] Watch me daily disappearing

[02:06.55] For just one glimpse of his smile

[02:10.80] All those nights, he kept me goin'

[02:13.72] Swirled you into all of my poems

[02:17.17] Now we're at the starting line, I did my time

[02:21.95] Now, pretty baby, I'm runnin'

[02:27.31] To the house where you still wait up and that porch light gleams (Gleams)

[02:33.69] To the one who says I'm the girl of his American dreams

[02:40.33] And no matter what I've done, it wouldn't matter anyway

[02:43.52] Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up now that I know what's at stake here

[02:49.36] At the park where we used to sit on children's swings

[02:56.00] Wearing imaginary rings

[03:03.97] But it's gonna be alright, I did my time
