every night....a bunk for a bed
jail cell so gross its obscene
thinking about...the sad life i have led
in trouble since i...was a teen
i'd like to do it over
and get out of the hole i've dug
i'm broke down and cryin'
cause i've been arrested for drugs

criminal faces...and dark dingy places
so grim, the way that i live
puttin' in time...for my horrible crimes
i've given all i can give
i'm not allowed...to leave this prison crowd
i'm forced to see their ugly mugs
i'd love to depart
but i've been arrested for drugs

oh...gosh darn it...i've been arrested for drugs
oh...gosh darn it...i've been arrested for drugs

i can't go back in time
i can't undo my crimes
upon me, trouble's been heapin'
i've forced to face my plight
the endless days and nights
cause what you sow...you're...reapin'

so every morning...i wake up and worry
who's gonna stab me today
lurk in my doorway...just go out to dine
cause i feel a lot safer that way
you know i miss the company of ladies
and all their kisses and hugs
we're kept far apart
cause i've been arrested for drugs

oh...gosh darn it...i've been arrested for drugs
oh...gosh darn it...i've been arrested for drugs
endless nights and days
i've been arrested for drugs
oh...gosh darn it...i've been arrested for drugs
oh...gosh darn it...i've been arrested for drugs
