Lyrics

Doin' Time
by: J Michael Price

(V1)
When I was young I was an outlaw
Stealing hearts all over town
Every mother's worst nightmare
The smoothest criminal around
Until one day man I got busted
The cuffs went on and my games were through
I ended up with a life sentence
Cause at my trial I said "I Do"

(C1)
I'm Doin' Time down here in Dixie
This ball & chain won't let me go
I kind of like being locked away
Ain't even trying to make parole
I get rewarded for good behavior
I'm even starting to like the food
Between me and you man I like my warden
Best damn woman I ever knew

(V2)
She said if you're planning your escape
I'll leave your cell unlocked tonight
So I snuck out for a little trouble
Made sure I was back before first light

(C2)
I'm Doin' Time down here in Dixie
This ball & chain won't let me go
I kind of like being locked away
Ain't even trying to make parole
I get rewarded for good behavior
I'm even starting to like the food
Between me and you man I like my warden
Best damn woman I ever knew

(C3)
I'm Doin' Time down here in Dixie
This ball & chain won't let me go
I kind of like being locked away
Ain't even trying to make parole
I get rewarded for good behavior
I'm even starting to like the food
Between me and you man I like my warden
Best damn woman I ever knew
I'm Doin' Time down here in Dixie
With the best damn woman I ever knew
