matt woods (usa) - jailbird song lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the path is long but it ain’t too wide
temptations on either side
another snake in the garden trying to show me what i don’t know
how i’d wind up never crossed my mind
or what’d be waiting when i crossed that line
’til i was in the backseat and the lawman told me so

[chorus]
he said, “you’ll wake up every morning ‘fore the break of dawn
but it won’t matter much ’cause the lights are always on
no women, no work, and no bills to pay
just sit in the cage and think all day
about how in the world you came to sing the jailbird song”

[verse 2]
looking back i can plainly see
rotten fruit hanging from that tree
and the sour truth i was tasting taking that first bite
lord, i never thought it’d be me
fingertips stained with ink
looking straight in the camera, getting ready to go inside

[chorus]
where it’s wake up every morning ‘fore the break of dawn
but it don’t matter much ’cause the lights are always on
no women, no work, and no bills to pay
just sit in the cage and think all day
about how in the world i came to sing the jailbird song

[verse 3]
the price you pay is a mighty fee
behind these bars wishing you’d get free
when i get home, honey, then you’ll see
it’s gonna be clean living each and every day
don’t give a d-mn what the devil may say
nothing but sticking to the righteous way for me

[chorus]
lord, it’s wake up every morning ‘fore the break of dawn
well it don’t matter much ’cause the lights are always on
no women, no work, and no bills to pay
just sit in the cage and think all day
about how in the world i came to sing the jailbird song
