I landed myself in a jam
I knew it the moment the prison door slammed
I shot a man dead just to show how tough I am
It wasn't planned
The way it went down, it was late
I got a bit fresh with some other man's date
He met me outside and that's where he met his fate
A big mistake
My lawyer said I had no just cause
And the best I could do was to clutch at straws
Now you son of a gun
Look at what you've done
You son of a gun
My record was no help at all
I've got a string of convictions since juvenile hall
I stood up in court and they nailed me to the wall
And that was all
The jury was sure that I lied
Took all of ten minutes for the good people to decide
The judge hid a smile as he sentenced me with pride
Nobody cried
Now I'm looking at twenty before parole
By the time I get out of here I'll be old
Now you son of a gun
Look at what you've done
Yeah, you son of a gun
You're missing all the fun
You son of a gun
What I wouldn't give now to have a good time with my friends
And what I wouldn't give now to live my life over again
I'd do it all over again
ย
I'm sick of the everyday grind
In a world without women's about to make me go blind
They say life goes on but then I put mine behind
Just doing time, just doing time
I got the conviction that I was framed
But I'll still be stuck in here all the same
Now you son of a gun
Look at what you've done
Yeah, you son of a gun
You're missing all the fun
You old son of a gun
What have you done, done, done, done, done?
You dumb son of a gun, gun, gun, gun, gun
Just listen now
Think about it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
Yeah, really, baby, you son of a gun
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
