a hundred thousand - bail
so i sit in county jail
taking all the news that i am given
letters wanting autographs
tv interview requests
questions about the time i face in prison
fame spreads across the land
everybody knows the -
talks to ghosts and robs up banks for money
taco stands and spelling bees
everybody can't believe
that the details of our trip
but all i do is sit
and i'm not alone
the way it may seem
i've got a voice of comfort
and there's a voice that talks to me
and in - defense
they want me to plead
but i don't know if i can
-
and think of things that take away
and if i gotta serve
a life sentence
- and death machines
whose eyes are blue as laser beams
my taqueria girl
to me she means the world
and Buddy explains
"i felt it too
when i was once alive
there was a girl named Peggy Sue
she was my all
that much is true
but now she's gone for good
and I'd change it all - if I could"
