Penitentiary Lyrics
Penitentiary (监狱) - Houndmouth
Album: From the Hills Below the City
I Hid a batch in frisco
I Couldn't score a job
So I did the next best thing
And I learned how to rob
I took that train to Houston
But I couldn't get away
From the five and dimeabout the time
The constable would say
Come on down
To the Penitentiary
Oh mommy the law came crashing down on me
Playing stud in the evening
The solitary night Leon has the cigarettes
And Capone has got the light
Now I'm shifting squares with a man from Arkansas
He took my rookoh lord and my kings about to fall
Come on down
To the Penitentiary
Oh mommy the law came crashing down on me
And I'm calling from a pay phone
Down around Lawrence bend
Got me a pardon son Gonna do it all again
Come on down To the Penitentiary
Oh mommy the law came crashing down on me
Come on down To the Penitentiary
Oh mommy the law came crashing down on me
