lyrics

CONSCIENCE COUNTY JAIL

I regret going wrong
I regret that I failed
I went wrong and I failed
but I’m writing you tonight from the conscience county jail

I did my best to no avail
to stay strong, tough as nails
but I got lost, weak and blue and went off the rails
just to wind up in the arms of the conscience county jail

I spend all my days and I spend all my nights
I spend all this time trying to turn my wrongs to rights

Some men sink, some men sail
some men die chasing whales
am I the captain or the whale, the great white whale
or am I Jonah in the belly of the conscience county jail?

I spend all my days and I spend all my nights
I spend all this time trying to turn my wrongs to rights

I regret going wrong
I regret that I failed
I went wrong and I failed
but I’m writing you tonight from the conscience county jail
yes, I’m writing you this song tonight the conscience county jail
