Waylon Jennings - Out Of Jail Lyrics
I sat at a bar having a beer
Trying to hold down the stool
When a stranger walked in stood there beside me
And plopped down there like a fool.
He started drinking then he started talking
The more that I heard the more I believed
The thing that was wrong was his wife.
You talk about beauty when we first met
She was all a man could desire
Talk about love one night with her
Would set your very soul on fire.
But loves little flame is out of control
About three feet high from behind
Ever since we've been married well, I've come to believe
That love's for the dumb and the blind.
She goes from Jekill to Hyde
She grits her teeth and her eyes roll back
And pivot from side to side.
She completely rewrites the whole English language
Descriptive four lettered and loud
Now I can't out think her but I can sure out drink her
And that's what I'm doing here now.
I've spent seven years with the wrong woman
Seven and going on eight
She spent seven years naggin' and eatin'
I'm overwrought and she's overweight.
If I try leavin' she has me arrested
And takes her own sweet time gettin' me out
If she ain't number one she's in the top two
Of things that I could live without.
Men commit murder and all kinds of mayhem
In a few years they're back on the streets
Highway robbery and white collar crime
And they laugh at the system they beat.
Sometimes I'm tempted sometimes I'm ashamed
Of the things that the law will allow
I could have killed her when I first met her
And I'd have been out of jail by now.
I could have killed her when we first met
And I've have been out of jail by now...

"Out Of Jail"
I sat at a bar having a beer
Trying to hold down the stool
When a stranger walked in stood there beside me
And plopped down there like a fool.
He started drinking then he started talking
About things that were wrong in his life
The more that I heard the more I believed
The thing that was wrong was his wife.
You talk about beauty when we first met
She was all a man could desire
Talk about love one night with her
Would set your very soul on fire.
But loves little flame is out of control
About three feet high from behind
Ever since we've been married well, I've come to believe
That love's for the dumb and the blind.
'Cause you talk about ugly when she gets mad
She goes from Jekill to Hyde
She grits her teeth and her eyes roll back
And pivot from side to side.
She completely rewrites the whole English language
Descriptive four lettered and loud
Now I can't out think her but I can sure out drink her
And that's what I'm doing here now.
I've spent seven years with the wrong woman
Seven and going on eight
She spent seven years naggin' and eatin'
I'm overwrought and she's overweight.
If I try leavin' she has me arrested
And takes her own sweet time gettin' me out
If she ain't number one she's in the top two
Of things that I could live without.

I could have killed her when I first met her
And I'd have been out of jail by now.
I could have killed her when we first met

Great song, love it
Waylon's humor &ain' t it the truth love this song
I know know what you mean brother🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫
say it like you mean it
He always did!
hind sight is 20/20.
I FREAKING LOVED IT. I would have been so upset to have went my whole life without hearing that song. Thank you Waylon,..UMP Mr. Jennings. I love the way you 'outlaw legends' roll. Even if it was years ago. It runs through my veins and lives in my soul.
A really great song! Makes one want to laugh, cry, drink, all at the same time. Oh don't we miss Walon, there's no one comes even close.
If I was a hound dog, I would howl.
Ronald Charles Epstein go crap yourself
I will always love my Waylon .Saw him n Macon ga .Shook his hand .A blessed night it was and still is.C u n heaven old friend
Irene Smith Awesome that you met Waylon
Love some Waylon
he looks like a mean mother fucker
I bet he was tough.
He was, from what I read. But the nicest person in the world at the same
He lived his own rules but would help someone out he didn’t even know.
OOPS creator4099 that was too funny Was that an original? Love that Waylon.
Creator4099
Don't forget about Haggard, Cash, and Paycheck. But yeah youre right if you cut on the radio now it sounds like someone from NYC with a cowboy hat on.
This is great tune
love this song so witty
Sorry about misspelled word, it should be everything; how about that? So, no critisism please!
He seems to be good at evrything; very entertaining. He is my favourite singer. Isn't he fantastic?
Elvis is the King of Rock, Michael Jackson is the King of Pop, and Waylon is the King of Kings
Not Knocking Waylon Jennings But Elvis Sang 3 Gener He Only Sang One
Dirty Mike god.... waylon, whats the difference?
Waylon is ten times better than Elvis or Michael Jackson plus he never beat the hell out of women or molested children. So he was more of a king then either of them. He certainly was The Greatest Country Singer Ever. And to the food is who said genres Waylon played Rock N Roll Southern Rock Outlaw Country and Country. So not sure what you are talking about. Especially since Disco is not music. The Eagle still flies. Lucky enough to have seen Waylon in 1997 Maritime Hall San Francisco. He sure would be proud of ole Shooter.
@Dirty Mike that's if he exists
@Rob Graff Michael jackosn didn't molest anyone though
OH I love this and ONLY ol' Waylon could have delivered it ;-)
I cant out think her, but i can sure out drink her.. Thats what im doin now
You got that right!!! I'm not a fan of new country, I can handle some of it. Waylon, Johnny, Willie, Merle, etc.. These are the pioneers of music, not just country. Original Gangsters!
this is a treasure thanx
best damn drinkin' song i ever heard
listen to john hutchinson on reverbnation - fallen Angels- new outlaw x
john hutchinson. The fact you come to plug yourself on Waylon calling yourself an Outlaw? Makes me think of a Shooter song Hey pretty boy in your baseball hat you couldn't hit country with a baseball bat country ain't just about where your. at its about being true to what's inside of you. Another part that's fits your placement of your ad . swell they name drop Johnny Cash and poor old Hank.
I know your right, Waymore!!! R.I.P. ,buddy.
i shoulda been aoutta jail by now. but i love where i'm at. and waylon built my foundation.
explain it?
the line about love being "about three feet high from behind" always makes me lmao
oh lord hoss, your humor's outrageous!
YOU ain't killed nobuddy, Handsome Harry Clay.
This is really neat thanks for sharing
I luv this! Never heard it before...A little bit of Waylon's humor! He was great, wasn't he?
