Fresh Out The Slammer

[00:11.39] Now, pretty baby, I'm running back home to you

[00:17.78] .

[00:22.04] Fresh out the slammer

[00:24.43] I know who my first call will be to

[00:28.94] .

[00:30.30] (Fresh out the slammer, oh)

[00:32.94] Another summer taking cover, rolling thunder

[00:37.19] He don't understand me

[00:40.65] .

[00:43.85] Splintered back in winter, silent dinners, bitter

[00:48.08] He was with her in dreams

[00:51.01] .

[00:54.73] Gray and blue and fights and tunnels

[00:57.38] Handcuffed to the spell I was under

[01:01.37] For just one hour of sunshine

[01:05.63] Years of labor, locks and ceilings

[01:08.29] In the shade of how he was feeling

[01:12.01] But it's gonna be alright, I did my time

[01:16.54] Now pretty baby, I'm running back home to you

[01:23.18] .

[01:27.17] Fresh out the slammer

[01:29.82] I know who my first call will be to

[01:34.34] .

[01:35.66] (Fresh out the slammer, oh)

[01:38.32] Camera flashes, welcome bashes

[01:41.24] Get the matches, toss the ashes off the ledge

[01:45.76] .

[01:48.68] As I said in my letters, now that I know better

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

[01:57.44] .

[02:00.36] My friends tried, but I wouldn't hear it

[02:03.02] Watch me daily disappearing

[02:06.75] For just one glimpse of his smile

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

[02:13.91] Swirled you into all of my poems

[02:17.37] Now we're at the starting line, I did my time

[02:22.15] Now, pretty baby, I'm running

[02:27.73] To the house where you still wait up, and that porch light gleams

[02:34.36] To the one who says I'm the girl of his American dreams

[02:40.48] And no matter what I've done, it wouldn't matter anyway

[02:43.93] Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up now that I know what's at stake

[02:47.91] Here, at the park where we used to sit on children's swings

[02:56.15] Wearing imaginary rings

[03:00.40] .

[03:04.38] But it's gonna be alright, I did my time

[03:09.43] .
