Victim Of Life's Circumstances

(アルバム： Turn Me Loose - 1984)

It's 6:05 on Sunday morning
And I was supposed to've left for Memphis late last night
But I stopped at one of them old highway places
And 'cause I did I'll sleep in Tarren County Jail tonight

Well I started out tonight with good intentions
But I ended up getting sidways drinking wine
Well the last thing I remember we was rolling
And something hit my head and knocked me from my conscious mind

[Chorus:]
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dances
Singing them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place I don't belong

I said, "Jailor, hey, what y'all got me charged with?"
Well he looked at me and halfway closed one eye
Well he said, "To mean to say you don't remember
Cutting up some fool with that bone handled knife?"

[Chorus 2x]
