When you receive this message you'll discover I'm not home

And I won't be coming back soon as my time now's not my own

I've hit a bit o' trouble... snagged a speed bump on life's road

I've been collared cuffed an' busted for some seeds my buddy sowed

      

Now Mama don't you worry because I'm just doin' swell

As a guest of Orange County at "The Ole Gray Bar Hotel"

This don't much feel like heaven... it's a damn sight more like hell

Bein' locked up with these jailbirds at "The Ole Gray Bar Hotel"

     

The police who misjudged me by the company I kept

Stuck me in this legal nightmare where for days I haven't slept

Lord help me I'm not guilty... not a fool to risk or chance

I'm an innocent bystander in a woeful circumstance

      

Now Mama don't you worry because I'm just doin' swell

As a guest of Orange County at "The Ole Gray Bar Hotel"

This don't much feel like heaven... it's a damn sight more like hell

Bein' locked up with these jailbirds at "The Ole Gray Bar Hotel"

My court-appointed lawyer reeks of rancid sour mash

With this lout to represent me I'm about to burn and crash

I swear I've learned my lesson... took a mean way to these ends

I'll take care with who I'm messin' as folks judge you by your friends

       

Now Mama don't you worry because I'm just doin' swell

As a guest of Orange County at "The Ole Gray Bar Hotel"

This don't much feel like heaven... it's a damn sight more like hell

Bein' locked up with these jailbirds at "The Ole Gray Bar Hotel"
