Still Know Your Number By Heart

Emptying out my pocket's things Wondering why the caged bird sings Charged with the same dang crime Sentenced for the third dang time I'm not innocent I never said I was But my lawyer doesn't have a tongue Like Jesse Jackson does But here inside this prison cell I keep remembering My parole officer Was the purtiest thing And I still know your number by heart Even though you no longer play a part Well I don't know if it's love or if I'm smart But I still know your number by heart Dreaming of the hours we spent Sure beats breaking up cement We were introduced by fate Sort of like a first blind date Our secret rendezvous Set free this heart of mine Like knowing that you'd follow me Across the county line And I've seen how drugs and alcohol Can get your dander up But for your charms I'd pee in any cup And I still know your number by heart Even though you no longer play a part Well I don't know if it's love or if I'm smart But I still know your number by heart I saw a statue of a lady Justice was her name And I knew the balance that she held Would some day tip my way Some poet said that love's blind, too But I could see its plan If that little job I pulled last year Someday made me your man I dream of breaking out Your pull is so intense The hounds of love Keep barking through the fence But I know in three to five I'll need you even more I pray my file Comes knocking at your door And I still know your number by heart Even though you no longer play a part Well I don't know if it's love or if I'm smart But I still know your number by heart
