Honest Man -

Doing time for a crime that he didn’t commit

The look of a man that the man don’t fit

Now he’s in the penitentiary

When an honest man now should be living free

He said to break it would take three years or less

They cut his time in half if he did confess

But it’s hard now understand

When you’re living a life of an honest man and he said

It will only take me

Three little years or less

They cut my sentence right in half, man

If I was to confess and I says

I ain’t going to do it

Just now to save my pride

Confessing would be nothing but a dirty dirty lie

La da da da…

Less then 3 turned to 33

33 turned to 34

When he finally broke out the prison walls

He was up for his own parole

And he saw the new world of calamity

And didn’t like what it had become

He said it changed oh such a terrible way from the era where he came from

And he said

It will only take me

Three little years or less

And they cut my sentence right in half, man

If I was to confess and I says

I ain’t going to do it

Just now to save my pride

Confessing would be nothing but a dirty dirty lie

Ya ya ya

La da da da…
