Jailbird Lyrics - Jim White

Dixie is a scourge and a scar 

And a girl in my heart and a state of mind 

Jesus is the man with a plan 

He's a short haired Mexican friend of mine 

This small town crowd should've dragged you down 

Can't leave your past behind 

Wipers in the rain tap out time 

Coming up on a new state line 

I wanna be a jailbird 

From the prison of my own damn mind 

Gonna get me a fast car 

Set out and see what I can find 

Brick up the well of tears and disappear 

Leave myself behind 

Gonna be a jailbird 

From the prison of my own damn mind

Midnight, take a short cut 

Through the downtown cemetery 

No stepping on graves 

Check the statue of the Virgin Mary 

She's catching moonlight in the shadows 

Revealing spider webs 

Can you see the black widow 

Hung between our lady's hands? 

I wanna be a jailbird 

From the prison of my own damn mind 

Gonna get me a fast car 

Set out and see what I can find 

Brick up the well of tears and disappear 

Leave myself behind 

Gonna be a jailbird 

From the prison of my own damn mind

Now used to be when I was young 

I was so hungry for oblivion 

My thoughts would linger 

Like fingers in a deadly web 

But in time as sorrow showed it's face 

In kind I learned to ache for grace 

To work and pray to one day 

Be delivered whole, alive and free 

I wanna be a jailbird 

From the prison of my own damn mind 

Gonna get me a fast car 

Set out and see what I can find 

Brick up the well of tears and disappear 

Leave myself behind 

Gonna be a jailbird 

From the prison of my own damn mind
