from the album Perfectly Imperfect at the Ryman
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A EI went down to the county jail and turned myself in
E ASpending all my weekends here, far from my good-timing friends
ABaby, things went bad and things went worse
DI guess you know the end
D A E AThe only thing I know for sure is I ain't going back again
[Verse 2]
A E
They took me down to cellblock B after stripping off my clothes
E APut me in a monkey suit and threw me in the throes
ALike a rat in a maze, a cow in the herd
A7 Dor a sparrow with a broken wing
D A E ANow I know the reason why the caged bird has to sing
[Chorus]
E D ACause I'm just a weekender in the Davidson County Jail
E D AAnd my old man, he ain't got the cash to even Go my bail
A DShould have listened to my mama and quit my life of sin
A E ABefore I went backsliding again
[Verse 3]
AThis bed is hard and the room is cold
Eand my cellmate's got a cough
EShe takes her meds and sleeps all day
Agot six more weeks till she's off
AShe said she beat her boyfriend up
Dwhile high on crack cocaine
D A E AAnd now she sits and watches her young life Go down the drain
[Chorus]
E D ACause she's just a weekender in the Davidson County Jail
E D AHer old man ain't got the cash to even Go her bail
A DShe should have listened to her mama and quit her life of sin
A E ABefore she went backsliding again

[Verse 4]
A EWalk into some other room, they tried to make me eat
E ARed-eyed gravy, cardboard bread and something that looked like meat
A
One tough girl from cellblock C
Dpicked a fight with the man at the desk
D A E AMighty soon was sent back to her room and I bet you know the rest
[Chorus]
E D ACause we're all just weekenders in the Davidson County Jail
E D AMy old man ain't got the cash to even call my bail
A DShould have listened to my mama, maybe quit my life of sin
A E ABefore I went backsliding again
A E A DBefore I went backsliding again
