sidney hiltson - jailbird lyrics

it’s kinda ironic our vacation’s at home
and time well spent is time alone
and a good cup of coffee isn’t in a metal cup
clanging at steel bars when you’re all locked up
freedom is seen as red white and blue
at least until those lights are flashing behind you
but for us it comes in any color
as long as it’s not black and white stripes we’re under

call me a jailbird
call me a bit disturbed
call me misunderstood and overworked
because i didn’t do a crime i didn’t realize it would hurt

why are they called handcuffs if they’re just around my wrists
why can’t i fight back if you throw the first fist
just because you got authority don’t mean i respect it
for all i care to me you’re just another one that won’t quit
i’ve got a name around these parts and they just don’t like you
you could be just like me but you’d rather put us in the news
and even after you’ve broken all my bones
you’d still continue to expose

call me a jailbird
call me a bit disturbed
call me misunderstood and overworked
because i didn’t do a crime i didn’t realize it would hurt

well i’m notorious for scr-w-ng up
and everybody knows that
i don’t think things through and i act on impulse
but that’s just who i am
ain’t it a miracle i found a lover
ain’t it’s amazing i found friends
grew up thinking n-body else could be like me
but apparently there’s a whole gang

call me a jailbird
call me a bit disturbed
call me misunderstood and overworked
because i didn’t do a crime i didn’t realize it would hurt

right now the mother and father seen in the background
and his brother
also paid respects to the girl who was clyde’s only friend
and who died by his side
in the last few words of bonnie’s own poem which she penned just prior to her death
to few it’ll mean grief
to the law it’s relief
but it’s death to bonnie and clyde
