Hey there boy what have you done? Sold your soul at twenty-one There's still time to up and run Here's your last chance I'm sure now it seems just fine But down the road at thirty-nine There ain't no such thing as fairy tale romance 'Cause you'll have to spend your Christmas Makin' small talk with her folks She'll use up all your razors Clean up all your jokes She'll stick you in a church Every Sunday 'til you die And even then she'll pray as she cries It's jail time, jail time [Chorus] Sheriff, come take me to jail Give me life, post no bail Tie me to my ball and chain I'd never wanna leave her anyway No, I'd never wanna leave her anyway Sign those papers cut and dry You can kiss your life goodbye No more cruisin' downtown for single chicks Sell your convertible buy a van You'll feel like a lesser man When you rev that engine just to get your kicks She'll make you leave the tv When the children need a ride She'll tell you to quit drinkin' She'll make you smoke outside She'll make you say "I love you" When she knows you're with your friends That ain't it, that ain't where it ends It's jail time, jail time [Chorus] When your pushin' comes to shove You'll fall in and out of love Paycheck-to-paycheck and day-to-day When that time comes, please know I hate to say I told you so But someone long ago said you'd end up that way [Chorus]
