"Misdemeanor in Ann Arbor", ask the judges,"Why?"
And here's a song to sing for every man inside
So now I'm kissing you farewell for much too long"
There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
And although I did the best I could I'm gonna have to leave you
There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
And buy the freedom that's a high price for the poor
One day a friend said to her kids, "I'm gonna have to leave you
Kids in Texas smoking grass, ten year sentence comes to pass
If he can hear you sing, it's an open door
So now I'm bidding you farewell for much too long"
For selling something to the man I guess I did wrong
For protecting the name of a man, they say I'll have to leave you
If he can hear you sing, it's an open door
And here's a song to sing for every man inside
