There Ain’t No Good Chain Gang – Lyrics by Waylon Jennings
Bet it ain’t raining back home,
Bet you sister’s still on the phone,
Music Lyrics Source
Bet it ain’t raining back home,
Bet you sister’s still on the phone,
Look into my teardrops
And darling you will see
Hey, little lady is your man at home
Did he go and leave you all alone
Bessie was a lovely child from West Tennessee
Leroy was an outlaw, hard and mean
I’ve taken chances on everything in my life
Even against all the odds I’ve rolled the dice
The days have been long and I have been lonesome
Recalling the dreams that never came true
Bet it ain’t raining back home,
Bet you sister’s still on the phone,
This time if you want me to come back it’s up to you
But remember I won’t allow the things you used to do
