Nobody Knows But Me

Lyrics
Nobody knows about the jailhouse blues Till you get within four walls And the old jailerman turns that big black key That's when your spirit falls Then you drag yourself up to the bars And while you gaze out at the stars This is what you say Why did I stray from the righteous path Nobody knows but me There on the outside you all can laugh I don't need your sympathy For after I've paid for the liquor I've sold I'll leave this place worth my weight in gold So why did I stray from the righteous path Nobody knows but me Nobody knows but me When you realize that you're all alone Sittin' in a two-by-four That little cell is just a taste of hell If you ain't been there before You're locked up tight but they treat you fair You get everything that you need in there That's just why you say Why did I stray from the righteous path Nobody knows but me There on the outside you all can laugh I don't need your sympathy For after I've paid for the liquor I've sold I'll leave this place worth my weight in gold So why did I stray from the righteous path Nobody knows but me Nobody knows but me
