A Lovely Day to Be Out of Jail

Spent all night in a crowded cell

Woke up on the floor

One thing Sonja sure as hell

I won't be back no more

Me and Fleet are headed home today

Me and Fleet are headed home to stay

Praise the Lord, Sonja

I'm hanging up my hooker shoes for good

(Yeah, sure you are)

Lighten up sister

It's a brand-new day (not to me)

Ain't the weather fine?

Ain't a cloud in sight

It's a lovely day to be outta jail

How that sun do shine

Like a golden light

What a lovely day to be outta jail

I been in the shade

(Girl, I know what you mean)

Thanks to legal aid

I am back on the scene

(Welcome back to the scene)

If the sky turns gray

That'll be okay

I don't care if there be

Thunder and hail

'Cause the fact remains

Even if it rains

It's a lovely day to be outta jail

Winter ain't no thing

No, I don't give a damn (when you don't give a damn)

Every day is green (every day is green)

When you're sprung

From the slam

This morning I could hardly wait

'Til it was time to journey

Through that iron gate

I threw back my head

Looked up at the sky and I said

Ain't the weather fine?

Ain't a cloud in sight

It's a lovely day to be outta jail

How that sun do shine

Like a golden light

What a lovely day to be outta jail

You won't see me frown

When the sun's outta sight

'Cause I'm getting down

With my daddy tonight

Everything's okay

Far as I can see

It's a lovely day

When you're finally free
