High-tempo foot-stomper...
Pound 3 shots of bourbon and turn the volume up to at least 8...
chicago music live band a
Story behind the song
Met a guy in the cooler...
Lyrics
I got bills to pay cuz my wife done run away
They're gonna lock me up but Lord I tried to pay
Goddamn I tried to pay
But the judge put me away
At the factory I worked since '83
50 pinkslips came and one was meant for me
Goddamn I tried to pay
But the judge put me away
Now I'm sittin' here wastin' away in jail
No one visits me, the guards don't bring no mail
Goddamn I tried to pay
But the judge put me away
My kid's eyes are bright, his hair is curly gold
When they set me free, he'll be 12 years old
Goddamn I tried to pay
But the judge put me away
