Strait Jacket - Joe Purdy

I saw you first when we were young

Just playin on the swing

You looked so pretty in the sun

But you never looked at me

Time went by and we grew up

You never spoke a word

Sometimes I tried to talk to you

But I guess you never heard me

Well I was on your side that day

When they called you names

I saw the crow bar on the ground

And I took it to his face

You never thanked me dear

When the police took me down

No you just screamed and ran away

When you heard the siren sounding off

I wish you’d write me a letter dear

Address it to my cell

Cause I am so alone in here

They say that I’m not well

They say that I will have to die

Becuase I killed that man

But I do not regret it dear

And I would kill again

Cause when someone causes pain to you

It causes paint to me

If I could have me one last wish

I’d wish that you could see

Me the way that I see you

The way that I hold you high

And through you never loved me dear

You loved me in my mind

They put a needle in my arm

They’re putting me to sleep

I saw you first when we were young

Just playin on that swing
