Lyrics
I wish I had a prison guard
A strong set of iron bars
Making 4 walls around my heart
Cause It ain't made of stone
If I’dda listened to my head
I’d have a little more Common sense
But damn it , here it goes again
It’s got a mind of its own
Oughta keep it locked up
Throw away every key
Cause the damn thing falls too easily
And it’s - gonna be the death of me
Knowing better ain't good enough
I oughta keep it locked up
I oughta, I oughta keep it locked up
I’d ship it off to Alcatraz
Folsom Prison like Johnny Cash
Far away from any man
With a rough hands, or a big red tractor
But I serve it on a silver platter
Oughta keep it locked up
Throw away every key
Cause the damn thing falls too easily
And it’s - gonna be the death of me
Knowing better ain't good enough
I oughta keep it locked up
I oughta keep it locked up
Like a secret, like a killer
Like a gun, gold and silver
Like a priceless treasure , but then I’d never
Ever have any fun, I oughta keep it locked up
Damned if I do or if I don't
Think it’ll work , but then it wont
Pulls me under , then it makes me wonder
Why I never have any luck
I oughta keep it locked up
Throw away every key
Cause the damn thing falls too easily
And it’s - gonna be the death of me
Knowing better ain't good enough
I oughta keep it locked up
Throw away every key
Cause the damn thing falls too easily
And it’s - gonna be the death of me
Knowing better ain't good enough
I oughta keep it locked up
I oughta keep it locked up
I oughta keep it locked up
I oughta keep it
