Fresh Out The Slammer

[00:11.33] Now, pretty baby, I'm running back home to you

[00:22.21] Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to

[00:30.45] (Fresh out the slammer, oh)

[00:33.37] Another summer taking cover, rolling thunder

[00:36.82] He don't understand me

[00:44.00] Splintered back in winter, silent dinners, bitter

[00:47.98] He was with her in dreams

[00:54.89] Gray and blue and fights and tunnels

[00:57.54] Handcuffed to the spell I was under

[01:00.20] For just one hour of sunshine

[01:05.78] Years of labor, locks and ceilings

[01:08.43] In the shade of how he was feeling

[01:11.62] But it's gonna be alright, I did my time

[01:16.40] Now pretty baby, I'm running back home to you

[01:27.56] Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to

[01:35.80] (Fresh out the slammer, oh)

[01:38.45] Camera flashes, welcome bashes

[01:41.11] Get the matches, toss the ashes off the ledge

[01:48.54] As I said in my letters, now that I know better

[01:52.79] I will never lose my baby again

[02:00.50] My friends tried, but I wouldn't hear it

[02:02.89] Watch me daily disappearing

[02:05.81] For just one glimpse of his smile

[02:11.12] All those nights you kept me going

[02:13.78] Swirled you into all of my poems

[02:17.23] Now we're at the starting line, I did my time

[02:22.28] Now, pretty baby, I'm running

[02:27.86] To the house where you still wait up, and that porch light gleams

[02:34.23] To the one who says I'm the girl of his American dreams

[02:40.61] And no matter what I've done, it wouldn't matter anyway

[02:43.80] Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up now that I know what's at stake

[02:49.11] Here, at the park where we used to sit on children's swings

[02:56.01] Wearing imaginary rings

[03:04.25] But it's gonna be alright, I did my time
