Son-Of-A-Gun |
| I’ve landed myself in a jam |
| I knew it the moment the prison door slammed |
| I shot a man dead just to show how tough I am |
| It wasn’t planned |
| The way it went down it was late |
| I got a bit fresh with some other man’s date |
| He met me outside and that’s where he met his fate |
| (A big mistake) |
| My lawyer said I had no «just cause» |
| And the best I could do was to clutch at straws |
| Now you son-of-a-gun, look at what you’ve done |
| My record was no help at all |
| I’ve got a string of convictions since juvenile hall |
| I stood up in court and they nailed me to the wall |
| (And that was all…) |
| The jury were sure that I lied |
| It took all of ten minutes for those good people to decide |
| The judge hid a smile as he sentenced me with pride |
| Nobody cried |
| Now I’m looking at twenty before parole |
| By the time I get out of here I’ll be old |
| Now you son-of-a-gun, look at what you’ve done |
| You son-of-a-gun, you’re missing all the fun |
| What I wouldn’t give now to have a good time with my friends… |
| And what I wouldn’t give now to live my life over again |
| I’d do it all over again! |
| I’m sick of the everyday grind |
| And in a world without women’s about to make me go blind |
| They say life goes on but, then, I put mine behind |
| Just doing time. |
| Just doing time |
| I got the conviction that I was framed |
| But I’ll still be stuck in here all the same |
| Now, you son-of-a-gun, look at what you’ve done |
| Yeah, you son-of-a-gun, you’re missing all the fun |
