Requested by: Btate on 5/21/2020

G
Markin' time on this concrete wall
Em
Seems like it wasn't all that long
Am
She caught my eye with her devilish grin
D                       D/C  D/B  D/A  G
Every pistol needs a fi-i-r-r-r-r-ing  pin

G
She said she loved me 'cos I was dangerous
Em
Got my thick skin 'cos my dad liked to get drunk and beat me up
Am
She came from money and it made her mean
D                       D/C  D/B  D/A Em
The bad apple and the de-e-e--e-e-mon seed
                C
We were hard as nails
         G   D                    G
But it's m-e-e who's gonna rot in jail


I remember the night we met
I clocked her boyfriend and off we went
Four-wheelin' on her daddy's ranch
And then she put that nine-millimeter in my hand

Well I popped off a few rounds at the stars
Lying naked on the hood of her Dodge
And then she got that crazy look in her eyes
She said, let's go rob the liquor store tonight
We were hard as nails
But it's me who's gonna rot in jail


Not for the money, we did it for the thrill
Shoutin' "Don't act stupid and nobody gets killed"
For eighty dollars and a gallon of wine
Surveillance cameras captured my good side

She turned me in just to save her own skin
Creamy thighs turnin' State's evidence
Her daddy's lawyers say I slapped her around
I got a guilty verdict and the gavel came down
We were hard as nails
         G   D                    Em    C
But it's m-e-e who's gonna rot in jail
          G  D                     G
Yes, it's m-e-e who's gonna rot in jail


Markin' time on this concrete wall
Up for parole, well, maybe next fall
When they ask me if I've been reformed
I'll tell 'em, you'll find out when you open that door

G      Em                                   Am  
I'm in jail, mama, I keep her picture in my cell, mama
              D
'cause I'm in jail
       G            Em           Am           D   
I'm in jail. I'm in jail. I'm in jail. I'm in jail
              G
Oh, Oh I'm in jail
         C  C/B  C/A  G?  C    G
And I'll see her in   he-e-e-e-ll
