I'd Have Been Out Of Jail - Waylon Jennings (维隆·杰宁斯)[00:00:00]
I sat at a bar having a beer[00:00:06]
Trying to hold down the stool[00:00:11]
When a stranger walked in stood there beside me[00:00:15]
And plopped down there like a fool [00:00:19]
He started drinking then he started talking[00:00:25]
About things that were wrong in his life[00:00:29]
The more that I heard the more I believed[00:00:34]
The thing that was wrong was his wife [00:00:38]
You talk about beauty when we first met[00:00:53]
She was all a man could desire[00:00:56]
Talk about love one night with her[00:01:00]
Would set your very soul on fire [00:01:04]
But loves little flame is out of control[00:01:08]
About three feet high from behind[00:01:12]
Since we've been married [00:01:32]
I've come to believe[00:01:33]
That love's for the dumb and the blind [00:01:35]
'Cause you talk about ugly when she gets mad[00:01:41]
She goes from Jekill to Hyde[00:01:46]
She grits her teeth and her eyes roll back[00:01:58]
And pivot from side to side [00:02:02]
She completely rewrites the whole English language[00:02:05]
Descriptive four lettered and loud[00:02:11]
Now I can't out think her but I can sure out drink her[00:02:15]
And that's what I'm doing here now [00:02:19]
I've spent seven years with the wrong woman[00:02:22]
Seven and going on eight[00:02:27]
She spent seven years naggin' and eatin'[00:02:30]
I'm overwrought and she's overweight [00:02:36]
If I try leavin' she has me arrested[00:03:12]
And takes her own sweet time gettin' me out[00:03:16]
If she ain't number one she's in the top two[00:03:20]
Of things that I could live without [00:03:24]
Men commit murder and all kinds of mayhem[00:03:28]
In a few years they're back on the streets[00:03:32]
Highway robbery and white collar crime[00:03:36]
And they laugh at the system they beat [00:03:40]
Sometimes I'm tempted sometimes I'm ashamed[00:03:44]
Of the things that the law will allow[00:03:48]
I could have killed her when I first met her[00:03:53]
And I'd have been out of jail by now[00:03:56]
