What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Dixie is a scourge and a scar
2
and a girl in my heart
3
and a state of mind.
4
Jesus is the man with a plan...
5
he's a short haired Mexican friend of mine.
6
This small town crowd will drag you down--
7
can't leave your past behind.
8
Wipers in the rain tapping out time...
9
coming up on a new state line.
10
I wanna be a jailbird,
11
from the prison of my own damn mind.
12
Gonna get me a fast car,
13
set out and see what I can find.
14
Brick up the well of tears and disappear---
15
leave myself behind.
16
I wanna be a jailbird
17
from the prison of my own damn mind.
18
Midnight, take a short cut
19
through the downtown cemetary.
20
No stepping on graves.
21
Check the statue of the Virgin Mary.
22
She's catching moonlight in the shadows---
23
revealing spider webs.
24
Can you see the black widow
25
hung between our lady's hands?
26
I wanna be a jailbird
27
from the prison of my own damn mind.
28
Gonna get me a fast car,
29
set out and see what I can find.
30
Brick up the well of tears and disappear---
31
leave myself behind.
32
I wanna be a jailbird
33
from the prison of my own damn mind.
34
Now used to be when I was young
35
I was so hungry for oblivion.
36
My thoughts would linger
37
like fingers in a deadly web.
38
But in time, as sorrow showed it's face,
39
in kind I learned to ache for grace.
40
To work and pray to one day be
41
delivered whole, alive and free.
42
I wanna be a jailbird,
43
from the prison of my own damn mind.
44
Gonna get me a fast car,
45
set out and see what I can find.
46
Brick up the well of tears and disappear---
47
leave myself behind.
48
I wanna be a jailbird
49
from the prison of my own damn mind.
