It s 6:05am on Sunday morning.
I was supposed to leave for Memphis late last night
I stopped at one of them old highway places
And because I did I sleep in Carroll county jail tonight
I started out the night with good intentions,
but I ended up getting sideways drinking wine
Well, the last thing I remember we were rolling
Then something hit my head and knocked me from my conscious mind
[chorus]
I m a victim of life s cirtances
Raised around barrooms and Friday night dances
Singing them old country songs
Half the time waking up some place I don t belong
(CHORUS)
Say jailer, hey what y all got me charged with
Then he looked at me and he halfway closed one eye.
He said you mean to say you don t remember
Cuttin up some honky with that bone handled knife
[chorus]
