Jailhouse Blues

Intro:

I’ve been thinking of this city – even though it don’t look pretty
There’s a fever and it chokes me
Givin’ me the Jailhouse Blues.

I’ve no need to be elected – even though I’m not neglected
There’s an undercurrent that is giving me the Jailhouse Blues

And I know it’s easy just to sit back and relax
And I know it’s terrible to suffer
And I see the lonesome drifters off the beaten tracks
I place my trust in them ‘cause they got what it takes

Noone’s giving me directions – nothing’s giving me distractions
Things seem positive and yet they’re giving me the
Jailhouse Blues

SOLO:

And the ones who see me with my back against the wall
They don’t see the distance that I’ve traveled
Don’t you realize that I won’t heed your battle call
I don’t subscribe to all the concepts that you teach

No one’s giving me directions – nothing’s giving me distractions Things seem positive and yet they’re givng me the
Jailhouse Blues.
