Fresh Out The Slammer

[00:10.54] Now, pretty baby, I'm running back home to you

[00:21.82] Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to

[00:29.82] (Fresh out the slammer, oh)

[00:32.82] Another summer taking cover, rolling thunder

[00:36.82] He don't understand me

[00:43.57] Splintered back in winter, silent dinners, bitter

[00:47.82] He was with her in dreams

[00:54.57] Gray and blue and fights and tunnels

[00:57.57] Handcuffed to the spell I was under

[01:01.32] For just one hour of sunshine

[01:05.57] Years of labor, locks and ceilings

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

[01:11.63] But it's gonna be alright, I did my time

[01:16.62] Now pretty baby, I'm running back home to you

[01:27.62] Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to

[01:35.62] (Fresh out the slammer, oh)

[01:38.42] Camera flashes, welcome bashes

[01:41.17] Get the matches, toss the ashes off the ledge

[01:48.17] As I said in my letters, now that I know better

[01:52.67] I will never lose my baby again

[02:00.21] My friends tried, but I wouldn't hear it

[02:02.96] Watch me daily disappearing

[02:06.71] For just one glimpse of his smile

[02:11.00] All those nights you kept me going

[02:13.75] Swirled you into all of my poems

[02:17.06] Now we're at the starting line, I did my time

[02:21.81] Now, pretty baby, I'm running

[02:27.56] To the house where you still wait up, and that porch light gleams

[02:33.81] To the one who says I'm the girl of his American dreams

[02:40.31] And no matter what I've done, it wouldn't matter anyway

[02:43.56] Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up now that I know what's at stake

[02:47.31] Here, at the park where we used to sit on children's swings

[02:55.81] Wearing imaginary rings

[03:02.61] But it's gonna be alright, I did my time
