[Intro]
D A E E

[Verse 1]
A E
I went down to the county jail and turned myself in
A
Spending all my weekends here, far from my good-timing friends
D
Things just went from bad to worse but I don't know when
A E A
The only thing I know for sure is I ain't going back again

[Verse 2]
A E
They took me down to cellblock B after stripping off my clothes
A
Put me in a monkey suit and threw me in the throes
D
Like a rat in a maze, a cow in the herd ar a sparrow with a broken wing
A E A
Now I know the reason why the caged bird has to sing

[Chorus]
E D A
Cause I'm just a weekender in the Davidson County Jail
E D A
And my old man, he ain't got the cash to even go my bail
A7 D
Should have listened to my mama and quit my life of sin
A E A
Before I went backsliding again

[Verse 3]
A E
This bed is hard and the room is cold and my cellmate's got a cough
A
She takes her meds and sleeps all day got six more weeks til she's off
D
She said she beat her boyfriend up while high on crack cocaine
A E A
And now she sits and watches her young life go down the drain

[Chorus]
E D A
Cause she's just a weekender in the Davidson County Jail
