(Intro)

(Instrumental)


(Verse 1)

Listen to me baby while I tell you a tale.

‘Bout the lonely nights that I spent in jail.

Hangin’ my head and cryin’ in shame.

Lordy, Lordy, Jesus I know I’m to blame.

Doin’ my time, not makin’ a dime.

Everything is gonna be fine.


(Verse 2)

Ya know I got to drinkin’ and a makin’ a scene.

Things were goin’ my way I was livin’ the dream.

Cops wheeled in and we fell to floor.

Hauled us off to jail, no drinkin’ no more.

Doin’ my time, not makin’ a dime.

Everything is gonna be fine. Oh ya!


(Instrumental x 2) - Take it around again boys! Ha ha!


(Verse 3)

Wake us up each mornin’ with a six o’clock call.

Chompin’ down our vittles in the prison mess hall.

Off to the back yard to get us some sun.

Watchin’ out for Bertha she’s a son of a gun.

Doin’ my time, not makin’ a dime.

Everything is gonna be fine.


(Verse 4)

Thinkin’ ‘bout you baby, every night and day.

I’m gettin’ real lonely since they put me away.

Got me a warshin’ and cleanin’ the cans.

Watchin’ you leave oh it’s that I can’t stand.

Doin’ my time, not makin’ a dime.

Everything is gonna be fine. Oh ya!


(Instrumental x 2) – You know what I want! Take it around! Ha ha! Whoahhh!


(Verse 5)

They tell me next week I’m up for parole.

Baby when I get out we’ll roll and roll.

Thinkin’ ‘bout a lovin’ and holdin’ you tight.

That god damn Bertha she’s a pickin’ a fight.

Doin’ my time, not makin’ a dime.

Everything is gonna be fine.


(Verse 6)

The P board said I got three more years.

Keepin’ a face, chokin’ back the tears.

Don’t blame ya baby if you find someone new.

Drinkin’ and a druggin’ got me in this stew.

Doin’ my time, not makin’ a dime.

I’m hopin’ everything will be fine. No!
