Lifetime of Bad Memories (DP Jan 2008)



You wanted to end your time with me, Now Im doing time cause I set your free
Youve given me a lifetime of bad memories.


Im wasting away in this federal pen, I swore Id never be hurt again.
Caught her with him in my new Chevrolet, Swore Id get them the very next day.
You spent most of your time away from me, Now Im doin time cause I set you free.
Youve given me a lifetime of bad memories.


Im doing my time they say Im bad, but everybody knows I was had.
Theres only so long a man can stand, his woman running with another man.
You couldnt wait to get away from me, Now Im doin time cause I set you free.
Youve given me a lifetime of bad memories.


The rest of my life Im wasting away, cause of what I had to do that day.
I plead my case to a judge & jury, thought theyd understand my fury.
You were always trying to get away from me, Now Im spending time cause I set you free.
Youve given me a lifetime of bad memories.


Im wasting away in this federal pen, I swore Id never be hurt again.
Caught her with him in my new Chevrolet, I took care of business the very next day.
Now you dont have to spend no time with me, and Im doin hard time cause I set you free.
Youve given me a lifetime of bad memories.
