Jailbird

Dixie is a scourge and a scar

And a girl in my heart and a state of mind

Jesus is the man with a plan

He's a short haired Mexican friend of mineThis small town crowd should've dragged you down

Can't leave your past behind

Wipers in the rain tap out time

Coming up on a new state lineI wanna be a jailbird

From the prison of my own damn mind

Gonna get me a fast car

Set out and see what I can findBrick up the well of tears and disappear

Leave myself behind

Gonna be a jailbird

From the prison of my own damn mindMidnight, take a short cut

Through the downtown cemetery

No stepping on graves

Check the statue of the Virgin MaryShe's catching moonlight in the shadows

Revealing spider webs

Can you see the black widow

Hung between our lady's hands?I wanna be a jailbird

From the prison of my own damn mind

Gonna get me a fast car

Set out and see what I can findBrick up the well of tears and disappear

Leave myself behind

Gonna be a jailbird

From the prison of my own damn mindNow used to be when I was young

I was so hungry for oblivion

My thoughts would linger

Like fingers in a deadly webBut in time as sorrow showed it's face

In kind I learned to ache for grace

To work and pray to one day

Be delivered whole, alive and freeI wanna be a jailbird

From the prison of my own damn mind

Gonna get me a fast car

Set out and see what I can findBrick up the well of tears and disappear

Leave myself behind

Gonna be a jailbird

From the prison of my own damn mind
