Joliet Bound - John Mellencamp

Police comin' with a ball and chain

Oooh-ooh

Police comin' with a ball and chain

Accusing me of murder

I never hurt no one

Well some got six months, some got one solid year

Oooh-ooh

Some got six months, some got one solid year

Take a look at me baby I got a lifetime here

Well lawyer pleaded, clerk he wrote it down

Oooh-ooh

Lawyer pleaded, clerk he wrote it down

When the judge passed my sentence

I was Joliet bound

Well police shoot the gun, pain all in my side

Oooh-ooh

Police shoot the gun, pain all in my side

If you run with me, baby, you know you’re bound to die

Heya

You wanna quit me baby, first thing you wanna do Oooh-ooh

You gonna quit me baby, first thing you wanna do Someday you gonna want me And hey I won’t want you

When they had my trial, you could not be found

Oooh-ooh

Had my trial, you could not be found

Yeah, I got all messed up Now I’m Joliet bound

Hey
