Out of Jail Waylon Jennings
[C/G]I sat at a bar having a beer
Tr[F]yin' to h[G]old down the[C/G] stool
When a stranger walked in - stood there beside me
And pl[F]opped down th[G]ere like a f[C/G]ool
He started drinkin' then he started talkin'
About th[F]ings that were wr[G]ong in his [C/G]life
The m[F]ore that i heard the [C/G]more i believed
The thing that was wr[G]ong was his [C/G]wife
Verse 2:
[C/G]You talk about beauty,when we first met
[F] She was all a m[G]an could de[C/G]sire
Talk about love,one night with her
[F] Would set your very s[G]oul on [C/G]fire
But loves little flame is out of control
[F] About three feet h[G]igh from be[C/G]hind
[F] Ever since we've been married,well i've [C/G]come to believe
That love's for the d[G]umb and the b[C/G]lind
Verse 3:
[C/G]'Cause you talk about ugly,when she gets mad
[F] She goes from J[G]ekill to Hyde[C/G]
She grits her teeth and her eyes roll back
[F] And pivot from s[G]ide to [C/G]side
She completely rewrites the whole English language
Descr[F]iptive[G],four-lettered[C/G] and loud
Now i [F]can't out think her,but i [C/G]can sure out drink her
And that's what i'm doing h[G]ere now[C/G]
Verse 4:
I[F]'ve spent seven years with the [C/G]wrong woman
S[F]even and going on eight[C/G]
S[F]he spent seven years n[C/G]aggin' and eatin'
I'm overwrought and sh[G]e's overweight
I[F]f i try leavin[C/G]' she has me arrested
A[F]nd takes her own sweet time gettin' me[C/G] out
I[F]f she ain't number on[C/G]e,she's in the top two
[F]Of things that i could l[G]ive wit[C/G]hout
Verse 5:
M[F]en commit murder and [C/G]all kinds of mayhem
In [F]a few years they're back on the st[C/G]reets
H[F]ighway robbery and w[C/G]hite collar crime
And they laugh at the system they b[G]eat
Somet[F]imes i'm tempted - some[C/G]times i'm ashamed
Of the th[F]ings that the law will al[C/G]low
I c[F]ould have killed her [C/G]when i first met her
And i'd have been out of j[G]ail by [C/G]now
I c[F]ould have killed her [C/G]when we first met
And i've have been out of j[G]ail by [C/G]now
