“Weekender (Funk Version)”

by Margo Price

from the album Perfectly Imperfect at the Ryman

[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
A E
I went down to the county jail and turned myself in
E A
Spending all my weekends here, far from my good-timing friends
A
Baby, things went bad and things went worse
D
I guess you know the end
D 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
E A
Put me in a monkey suit and threw me in the throes
A
Like a rat in a maze, a cow in the herd
A7 D
or a sparrow with a broken wing
D 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
A D
Should have listened to my mama and quit my life of sin
A E A
Before I went backsliding again

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