There’s a story in our town
Of the prettiest girl around

There’s a story in our town
Of the prettiest girl around
Hey, get rhythm
When you get the blues
Tempted and tried we’re often made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
Where the road is dark and the seed is sowed
Where the gun is cocked and the bullet’s cold
My bills are all due and the babies need shoes
But I’m Busted
Drink to me, drink to me
Drink to me, drink to me
Well, i won’t back down, no i won’t back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
Isn’t it good babe?
You and me
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
San Quentin, you’ve been livin’ hell to me
You’ve guarded me since nineteen sixty three
