Honey open up and let me in
I just had to stop by for a minute
I just had to stop by for a minute
And I can't stay long at all
I broke out of jail this mornin'
Now I'm right outside your window
But don't you see it was him or me
Now I'm right outside your window
In the middle of a barroom brawl
I just had to stop by for a minute
Yeah I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
Honey open up and let me in
'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And my back is up against the wall
Now I don't deny I was guilty
And I ain't never goin' back again
'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
Now I'm right outside of your window
And my back was up against the wall"
And I ain't never goin' back again
And my back is up against the wall
And my back was up against the wall
And my back is up against the wall
I broke out of jail this mornin'
I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And I ain't never goin' back again
Honey open up and let me in
And my back is up against the wall
Workin' on the side of the road
'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
He said, "A man fell over my razor
I was hungry and broke and couldn't see no hope
One night we got to talkin'
And I know I broke the law
I was shackled to a three-time loser
They sentenced me to hard labor
And I can't stay long at all
And I can't stay long at all
And I asked him what he'd done
A man named Jefferson
Broke out of jail this mornin'
