One day a friend took me aside |
| [00:31.07] |
And said I have to leave you |
| [00:34.30] |
For buying something from a friend |
| [00:37.56] |
They say I've done wrong |
| [00:40.86] |
For protecting the name of a man |
| [00:44.33] |
They say I'll have to leave you, |
| [00:47.23] |
So now I'm bidding you farewell |
| [00:50.77] |
For much too long. |
| [00:53.97] |
And here's a song to sing, |
| [00:57.43] |
For every man inside, |
| [01:00.77] |
If he can hear you sing |
| [01:03.99] |
It's an open door. |
| [01:07.48] |
There's not a rich man there, |
| [01:10.75] |
Who couldn't pay his way |
| [01:13.95] |
And buy the freedom that's a high price |
| [01:17.94] |
For the poor. |

Kids in Texas |
| [01:24.91] |
Smoking grass, |

Ten year sentence |
| [01:31.65] |
Comes to pass |
| [01:34.87] |
Misdemeanor |
| [01:38.20] |
In Ann Arbor, |
| [01:41.43] |
Ask the judges why |
| [01:47.40] |
Another friend said to her kids |
| [01:51.12] |
I'm gonna have to leave you |
| [01:54.25] |
For selling something to the man |
| [01:57.70] |
I guess I did wrong |
| [02:00.56] |
And although I did the best I could |
| [02:04.12] |
I'm gonna have to leave you |
| [02:07.21] |
So now I'm kissing you farewell |
| [02:10.68] |
For much too long. |
| [02:13.73] |
And here's a song to sing, |
| [02:17.08] |
For every man inside |
| [02:20.56] |
If he can hear you sing |
| [02:23.93] |
It's an open door. |
| [02:27.36] |
There's not a rich man there |
| [02:30.49] |
Who couldn't pay his way |
| [02:33.72] |
And buy the freedom that's a high price |
| [02:37.87] |
For the poor. |
