Long before the screen door slammed she was out of Xenis

A stranger could have loved that town but she had to leave

I wish I'd gotten to knw her before I fell in love



I could say who's to blaame, say who's the man in this cautionary tale

But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll sweat til Kitten's out of jail



It was like a TV show, the way she stole that car

Easy now to criticize

Easy now to talk

I thought my luck was changing

I guess I was wrong

Didn't want to be a slave

Just turned out that way



I could say she's to blame, say she's the man in this cautionary tale

But I swore I'd be true and I'll sear and I'll swear and I'll sear

Til Kitten's out of jail
