lyrics

wilkes county jail
you ain't hell but you ain't where I want to be
as far as I can tell
you don't give a damn about the likes of me
it was just a busted tail light
then they brought the dogs out
and ruined my night
four walls closing in on me

a bunk and two squares
basic cable and some bags of chips for sale
a visit from my girl
when she tells me daddy's not doing so well
that woman takes good care of me
I wish I was out there with her
obviously
glass window separating

wilkes county jail
you ain't hell but you ain't where I want to be
as far as I can tell
you don't give a damn about the likes of me
wilkes county, I would gladly leave
and never come back
if you would only agree
oh, judge won't you set me free
I'm not guilty can't you see
and I won't disturb any peace
how have I made such a mess of things?
