VERSE 1:
My brother went to prison
*
He s in Kingston doin time
He got seven years for sellin
*
What I ve been smokin all my life
Time off for good behavior
But the boy don t feel too good
Locked behind those steel bars
I don t know if he should

Yeah a few years ago they called me
Back home to get a big award
They also called my brother
*
But they made him say My Lord
They locked me up in a Hall of Fame
And threw away the keys
But when they put my brother away
It really did somethin to me

CHORUS:
Now I m guilty as hell for sayin
Boy you better go back home
You know you ll get a fair shake there
We re running all alone
When he called me up from the border
With the Mounties on his tail
I said go back to Canada
We can raise the bail

Now I get these letters
From a cell with no TV
He says he s outside one hour
And inside twenty three
Time off for good behavior
But the boy don t feel too good
Locked behind those steel bars
I don t know if he should
