She can finish 'this' sentence - he's behind bars!

Lyrics

One Sentence She Can't Finish

I just love her to death, and I will 'till my last breath
But I suppose I speak to slow for her
My baby reads my mind and I'll be darned if every time
She completes my thoughts in her own words

Last night I went out with my buddies to run about
We didn't mean to cause nobody harm
I hope my baby will understand - things got out of hand
When we set off that fire alarm

This is something I can't lie about
I'm locked up here behind these bars in the 'big house'
It may be a while before I make it home
'Cause this is one sentence that she can't finish - I guess I'll have to do it on my own

Now I know I should stop when pursued by a cop
I knew better than to resist arrest
Now I'm doing a little time, but I'm finishing my own lines...
So maybe this turned out for the best...

This is something I can't lie about
I'm locked up here behind these bars in the 'big house'
Yeah, it may be a while before I make it home
'Cause this is one sentence that she can't finish - I guess I'll have to do it on my own

Now I'm stuck here in jail, and I can't afford the bail
With my one call I've got her on the phone -
Saying "honey, don't be mad" .... But she said, "You've gone and screwed up bad"
"Now you'll be sleeping in that jailhouse all alone"
(talking: Well, maybe not all alone - let's sing it boys!)

This is something we can't lie about
We're locked up here behind these bars in the 'big house'
It may be a while before we make it home
Cause this is one sentence that they can't finish - I guess we'll have to do it on our own
Cause this is one sentence that they can't finish - I guess we'll have to do it on our own
