Put down that phone and listen

Baby how can you be so unkind

If they catch me out of line only one more time

I'll be down in the slammer 'fore you count to nine

I didn't mean to step out without you

And I'm sorry way down in my soul

But it ain't easy being on

Parole with you baby

Before they throw me in the hole

I got to get my dose of Rock and Roll

And it ain't easy being on

Parole with you baby, let go

Put down that gun and listen

If you shoot it would be such a waste

'Cause any one of these days I just might change my ways

And I won't be around to see the look on your face

I know that it might make you happy

To fill my body full of holes

But you know it ain't easy being on

Parole with you baby

Put down the phone and put down the gun

Please let me know you still believe in me, hon
