Down on this row there ain't much to do
So i close my eyes and dream about you
You and that guy i met once or twice
That's alright honey i just hope he's treating you nice

Things here ain't so bad, i've made some friends
They make me laugh but i can't pretend
When the night gets cold, and i get blue
Honey i just wanna hold onto you

Chorus
Oh theresa, theresa my dear
I stand accused and i'm guilty i fear
We've lived our lives in a corner called hell
Now you're out there and i'm in this cell
And if you can't be here by midnight
If all of your connections fail
Say a prayer for me, finger your rosary
For i will have left this jail
I will see the cell door open
I will hear the tolling bells
And if you can't be here by midnight
Darling i'm wishing, i'm wishing you well

Everyday i recall how i got to this place
I woke up one night with a gun in my face
I saw a badge, i saw blue
That boy couldn't have been more than 22

I heard you scream, i grabbed his gun
You broke free and he started to run
Back of the head and it wasn't clean
Meanest thing that i ever seen
