The Life: A Lovely Day to Be Out of Jail

4 views

Lyrics

Spent all night in a crowded cell
 Woke up on the floor
 One thing Sonja sure as hell
 I won't be back no more
 Me and Fleet are headed home today
 Me and Fleet are headed home to stay
 Praise the Lord, Sonja
 I'm hanging up my hooker shoes for good
 (Yeah, sure you are)
 Lighten up sister
 It's a brand-new day (not to me)
 Ain't the weather fine?
 Ain't a cloud in sight
 It's a lovely day to be outta jail
 How that sun do shine
 Like a golden light
 What a lovely day to be outta jail
 I been in the shade
 (Girl, I know what you mean)
 Thanks to legal aid
 I am back on the scene
 (Welcome back to the scene)
 If the sky turns gray
 That'll be okay
 I don't care if there be
 Thunder and hail
 'Cause the fact remains
 Even if it rains
 It's a lovely day to be outta jail
 Winter ain't no thing
 No, I don't give a damn (when you don't give a damn)
 Every day is green (every day is green)
 When you're sprung
 From the slam
 This morning I could hardly wait
 'Til it was time to journey
 Through that iron gate
 I threw back my head
 Looked up at the sky and I said
 Ain't the weather fine?
 Ain't a cloud in sight
 It's a lovely day to be outta jail
 How that sun do shine
 Like a golden light
 What a lovely day to be outta jail
 You won't see me frown
 When the sun's outta sight
 'Cause I'm getting down
 With my daddy tonight
 Everything's okay
 Far as I can see
 It's a lovely day
 When you're finally free
