Lyrics

Bet it ain't raining back home
 Bet your sister's still on the phone
 Bet momma's in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken
 Wishing that I hadn't done wrong
 Yeah, momma don't you worry about it none though
 Everything's gonna be all right, momma
 They're teaching us a lot of new things in here momma
 Things like
 There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
 And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
 And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi
 And there ain't no good chain gang
 
 ♪
 Papa's reading yesterday's mail
 Wishing that the hay was all bailed
 I bet he's wishing we could go fishing
 Here I am laying in jail
 Well, papa don't you worry about it none now
 Everything's gonna be alright papa
 They're teaching us a lesson a day we're learning pretty well too
 We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already
 Things like
 There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
 And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
 And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi
 And there ain't no good chain gang
 There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
 And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
 And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi
 And there ain't no good chain gang
 ♪
 There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
 And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
 And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi
 And there ain't no good chain gang
 There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
 And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
 And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi
 And there ain't no good chain gang
