Ain't No Honkytonks In Jail Lyrics - Singles - George Goss

Ain't no Honky Tonks in jail 

No cigarettes, they read your mail 

You can't hear the jukebox wail 

Ain't no Honky Tonks in jail 

Ain't no dancin' goin' on 

No guitar pickin' all night long 

Nobody's here to pay my bail 

Ain't no Honky Tonks in jail 

There ain't no Honky Tonks in jail 

Should have walked that straight and narrow trail 

My freedom's gone and I live in Hell 

Ain't no Honky Tonks in jail 

Give me three square meals a day 

Some commissary and a place to lay 

There's twenty-one men in a ten man cell 

Ain't no Honky Tonks in jail 

I read the Good Book, I've got time 

I'd love to see that neon sign 

I'd love to hear that jukebox wail 

Ain't no Honky Tonks in jail 

There ain't no Honky Tonks in jail 

Should have walked that straight and narrow trail 

My el Camino's up for sale 

Ain't no Honky Tonks in jail 

They turned me loose on work release 

I didn't come back, they sent Police 

Said "Boy you'll be in here a spell" 

Ain't no Honky Tonks in jail 

There ain't no Honky Tonks in jail 

Should have walked that straight and narrow trail 

The old man thinks that I have failed 

Ain't no Honky Tonks in jail 

There ain't no Honky Tonks in jail 

Should have walked that straight and narrow trail 

My car's impounded and for sale 

Ain't no Honky Tonks in jail
