15 Years

Fifteen years on the county line

Love to make a man nearly lose his mind

Down in Arlington, Virginia where the lawmakers stay

A ball and chain never felt so real

Walls of stone, fifty miles of steel

When the watergate be parting, darling, I'll be coming home your way

And I wish you could have seen her when the good Lord spun me round

I shoulda known better than to think they could keep a good man down

So please don't you worry

Please don't you ever come see me

Leaving out of Texas for that East Coastal life

And now I was getting married on the night to my surprise

Well, judge in a cornfield tried a man

He said let him hang, and no, I never said

When the watergate be parting, darling, I'll be coming home your way

And I wish you could have seen her when the good Lord spun me round

I shoulda known better than to think they could keep a good man down

So please don't you worry, no

Please don't you ever come see me

Fifteen years on the county line

Love to make a man nearly lose his mind

Down in Arlington, Virginia where the lawmakers stay

Ball and chain never felt so real

Walls of stone, fifty miles of steel

When the watergate be parting, darling, I'll be coming home your way

And I wish you could have seen her when the good Lord spun me round

I shoulda known better than to think they could keep a good man down

So please don't you worry

Please don't you ever come see me
