The Night I Got Out of Jail Lyrics

Five long years I've been locked up
I feel like a dog with an iron bone
Been surrounded by love life
Half the time I've been half alone
I been keeping alive through dreaming
And reading your mail
I come looking for what you promised, baby
The night I got out of jail
Five long days I've been workin'
Cutting the bars of another life
Stealing the keys to the midnight
Killing time with a butcher knife
If I got myself out of prison
You said we couldn't fail
I come looking for you on the roadway, honey
The night I got out of jail
Here comes Saturday evening
I'm all ready to make my move
Everybody is sleeping
I put it away and I'm in the groove
If I get myself caught in the parlor
I get a ride out of town on a rail
So I busted out through the window, honey
The night I got out of jail
Now I find myself running
Leaving behind me the hue and cry
Feeling some reservations
I'm feeling alone and I don't know why
I came looking but you were long gone
And I'm watching the night turn pale
I think you left me to suffer freedom, baby
The night I got out of jail
