Lyrics

Visiting hours are up, still I won't give you up
I got the call late last night that you'd been in a fight
Police done dragged you away, and now you've nothing to say
Names of lost causes written along the walls
Sounds of dissension echo down the halls
I meet you at the window and we talk though the phone,
I press my hand to plastic and feel so alone.
Drove to the courthouse downtown spent hours waiting around
Troubled to see your sweet face doing time in this place
Called the Lawyer you know says they won't let you go
Cause we can't make your bail another night in the jail
Names of lost causes written along the walls
Sounds of dissension echo down the halls
I meet you at the window and we talk though the phone,
I press my hand to plastic and feel so alone.
Set your hearing next week redemption won't come cheap
The judge will know you by name it always ends up the same
Names of lost causes written along the walls
Sounds of dissension echo down the halls
I meet you at the window and we talk though the phone,
I press my hand to plastic and feel so alone.
And bars on the windows are like bars around my heart
I don't want to let you in to steal another start
And the Deputy Sheriff he is telling me times done,
My head says I should leave you, my heart says you're the one.
Visiting Hours are up, still I won't give up
