You Again

Just out on parole, a new man, saved soul

Ready to leave that life behind.

Bus ride and a change of clothes, no job, dead broke,

No one wants a man who's done time.

I see someone left the keys in a foreign car ignition,

And I hear an old friend callin' my name.

(Chorus)

It's you again temptin' me to break in,

And take that Mazerati for a ride.

I bet you're down there smilin',

Watchin' me drivin',

With your pitch fork pokin' at my side.

And I feel your firey touch against my skin

It's you again.

A motel mattress covered in hundreds

A bottle of bourbon on the floor

Visions of Vegas, fine wine, and women

As I see a Bible on the night stand drawer

A guilty conscience sets in, feels like someone's watchin

And I hear an old friend callin' my name

(Chorus)

It's you again, askin' me to open

That King James to Psalm 102

And your words hit like lightnin'

I hear your angels cryin

Can't believe I turned my back on You

And I can't enjoy the fruits of my sins

It's You again

Sirens, handcuffs, new trial, same judge

Disappointed lookin down at me

Sayin it's you again standin

In my courtroom beggin

Me to show some mercy one more time

Sayin, Son I guess you didn't learn your lesson

Now it's time to pay up for your crime

You've earned a one way ticket to the pen

One more word and I'll tack on another ten

And I heard my cellmate say as I walked in

It's you again
