Doing The Time

[Verse 1]
I ain't locked in a cell, but I might as well be
Heartbreak's a prison eight days a week
I ain't been outside, haven't had much to eat
I'm still wearing your sweatshirt like it's a jumpsuit on me

[Verse 2]
I'm in chains either way, mistakes or misfortune
The memory's the guard, the anxiety's the warden
Keeping me in here, trapped like a rat
The thoughts in my mind feel like damn Alcatraz

[Chorus]
Why am I in here? I'm the innocent one
Paying for all of the shit that you've done
You're out on the run, knowin' you did the crime
Free as a bird while I'm doin' the time

[Verse 3]
If lying and cheating were deemed first degree
Instead of out there with her, you'd be in here with me
But you plead the Fifth on a fifth of Jim Beam
I reckon some girls you love and some girls you leave

[Chorus]
Why am I in here? I'm the innocent one
Paying for all of the shit that you've done
You're out on the run, knowin' you did the crime
Free as a bird while I'm doin' the time

[Bridge]
You ain't called, you ain't checked in
Ain't tried to stop by
I guess I'm not wanted
Dead or alive

[Chorus]
Why am I in here? I'm the innocent one
Paying for all of the shit that you've done
You're out on the run, knowin' you did the crime
Free as a bird while I'm doin' the time

[Outro]
I'm doin' the time
