Start Jamming...
[G] [D] We can't spend our whole lives hiding, Buck.
[G] That ain't no way to live.
It is [A] time to wipe the slate clean.
[D] Ask the good Lord to [Bb] forgive.
[G] You've got to serve your [D] sentence [Gb] without [Bm] fail.
[G] Buck, [A] you are going [Bm] back to jail.
What [D] the hell are you talking about?
Don't be scared to turn a corner [G] or to open our front door.
[A] When you're on the side of justice, you [D] ain't nervous of the law.
[G] Now pull yourself together [D] because [A] you've [Bm] gone pale.
[G] You [D] are going back to jail.
But baby, you don't know what it's [G] like in there.
I know it's hard to [D] share a cell when [Bm] you've got nothing to look at [E] except prisoners [Am] who smell.
But [G] when you're done, [D] you've [Gb] served [Bm] your [G] time.
We'll [E] still be young and in [C] our [A] prime.
[Dm] Ain't been [D] free more than a minute.
[G] Ain't had time to change my shirt.
I've been dreaming [Dbm] of a hot [D] meal with you as my [Gb] dessert.
[G] Bring your face close to [D] mine and [A] just let [Bm] me [Am] inhale.
[G] Buck, [D] you are going back to jail.
Now baby, you-
We will call the sheriff and tell him you are turning yourself in right after church tomorrow.
It's going to be just as hard on me, Daddy.
You know what it's like having a husband in jail.
Tell him how hard it is not having Carl around.
Are you [Cm] kidding?
[Bb] [Eb] It's a treat to get my nails [Ab] done.
Have time to read a book.
[Eb] Shore beats washing [Bb] out at Long John's.
[Eb] It's a pleasure not to cook.
It ain't [Ab] enough.
Thank God those prison [Eb] walls are [Bb] much too [Cm] tall [Gb] to [Ab] scale.
My [Eb] darlin's nice and safe in jail.
I don't want her coming around here no more.
Well, Trish's husband's been in jail for two years now and she is miserable without her man.
At first I really missed him.
[Ab] I thought I would waste away.
[Bb] Then I met this boy from Tucson [Eb] and he owns a [Gb] Chevrolet.
[Ab] He had a lot [Eb] [Bb] of [Cm] dark, [Gb] [Ab] open creases, black teeth and hair and [Eb] cash to [Bb] be.
[Eb] I think he's [Ab] a [Eb] habit I [Bb] can't [Cm] pay.
Good answer, [Ab] Betsy.
[Bb] I'm gonna keep him [Eb] locked in [Eb] jail.
[Db] [Ab] Keep him inside, keep him [Eb] inside.
[Cm] If we see him once a month [Ab] we will [Cm] be more [Bb] than [Db] satisfied.
Ain't that [Ab] the truth?
Seems [G] to be [Cm] [Ab] unkind.
Can't put [F] a price on peace [Db] of [Bb] mind.
Blanche.
[Eb] I ain't like these other women.
I will [Ab] wait till kingdom come.
I want the world to see that [Eb] I ain't mad to some fun.
[Ab] Blanche.
It will be hard for [Eb] us but [Bb] we'll [Cm] come through.
[Ab] I can't believe what you [Bb] are asking [Cm] me to [Bbm]
[Ab] do.
One thing's for certain, [Eb] I love Juan.
[Bb] [Cm]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Oh my lord.
Jesus, close your [Ab] eyes.
Blanche, I ain't [Bb] going [Ab] back.
Yes, but you're [Bb] going [Ab] back.
Tomorrow he'll be [Eb] back in jail.
[Gb] [Eb]
