It wasn't you, the angel on my mind In the end I wasn't sad to leave behind I did a lot of bad things, got busted, now I'm fine Now I've got to s** it up and do the time in mind I was out carousing for, oh, so many nights Dipping here and dipping there, I give myself a fright Most everybody near me, they got sold a line Now I've got to s** it up and do the time in mind Time in mind should be an easy thing to do Time in mind, you're not in a cell, there ain't no screws But you'll find your conscience giving in to you It goes do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do the time in mind Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do the time in mind My uncles, they told me the right thing to do I knew they told the truth but still I carried right on through Till I broke their hearts, hers and hers and mine Now I've got to s** it up and do the time in mind
Time in mind should be an easy thing to do Time in mind, you're not in a cell, there ain't no screws But you'll find your conscience giving in to you It goes do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do the time in mind Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do the time in mind One of these broken hearted women said to me one day I wish there was a court for love, they'd surely make you pay I said, I'm so sorry darling, there's no court of that kind But you should know I've been a prisoner doing the time in mind Time in mind should be an easy thing to do Time in mind, you're not in a cell, there ain't no screws But you'll find your conscience giving in to you It goes do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do the time in mind Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do the time in mind
