[Verse 1] Gonna cut my hair, gonna get that job, Wanna save myself some money. I’ll be out in a week and it’s you I seek, I’m gonna get you back my honey. You gave me up with nothing left to give, From behind the bars I cried. So please forgive me, I’m so sorry. I’ve learned my lesson, I gave confession. [Verse 2] I was on the straight when I met this man, He said he needed just a little hand. I could drive his car that it wouldn’t be far, An easy job and don’t misunderstand. But when I pulled in he asked me where I’d been, Losing time inside. It drew attention, Then apprehension. And there we were soon, Back in the courtroom. [Bridge] Back to where we started some time ago, With you and me separated by the walls and barbed wire. It’s in my veins to be off those tracks of this I know,
Only one wrong move, I put my fingers in the fire. [Verse 3] I was almost free you put your trust in me, And start a new life in the country. With our own front door I’d be good I swore, But then we started up the third war. He gave me no choice, I heard a small voice, Screaming out inside my head. Wrote you a letter, Said I’d be better. Give me your address, And your forgiveness. [Verse 4] Now I’ve cut my hair, gone and got that job, Even saved myself some money. It’s been two long years since I realised my fears, And under oath I faced the jury. But I got faith in a place beyond sin, It leads me back towards the shore. So please forgive me, I’m so sorry. I’ve learned my lesson, I gave confession.
