Out Of Jail Lyrics - Right For The Time - Waylon Jennings

I sat at a bar having a beer 

Trying to hold down the stool 

When a stranger walked in stood there beside me 

And plopped down there like a fool. 

He started drinking then he started talking 

About things that were wrong in his life 

The more that I heard the more I believed 

The thing that was wrong was his wife. 

You talk about beauty when we first met 

She was all a man could desire 

Talk about love one night with her 

Would set your very soul on fire. 

But loves little flame is out of control 

About three feet high from behind 

Ever since we've been married well, I've come to believe 

That love's for the dumb and the blind. 

'Cause you talk about ugly when she gets mad 

She goes from Jekill to Hyde 

She grits her teeth and her eyes roll back 

And pivot from side to side. 

She completely rewrites the whole English language 

Descriptive four lettered and loud 

Now I can't out think her but I can sure out drink her 

And that's what I'm doing here now. 

I've spent seven years with the wrong woman 

Seven and going on eight 

She spent seven years naggin' and eatin' 

I'm overwrought and she's overweight. 

If I try leavin' she has me arrested 

And takes her own sweet time gettin' me out 

If she ain't number one she's in the top two 

Of things that I could live without. 

Men commit murder and all kinds of mayhem 

In a few years they're back on the streets 

Highway robbery and white collar crime 

And they laugh at the system they beat. 

Sometimes I'm tempted sometimes I'm ashamed 

Of the things that the law will allow 

I could have killed her when I first met her 

And I'd have been out of jail by now. 

I could have killed her when we first met 

And I've have been out of jail by now...
