Long before the screen door slammed she was out of Xenis
A stranger could have loved that town but she had to leave
I wish I’d gotten to knw her before I fell in love
I could say who’s to blaame, say who’s the man in this cautionary tale
But I swore I’d be true and I’ll swear and I’ll sweat til Kitten’s out of jail
It was like a TV show, the way she stole that car
Easy now to criticize
Easy now to talk
I thought my luck was changing
I guess I was wrong
Didn’t want to be a slave
Just turned out that way
I could say she’s to blame, say she’s the man in this cautionary tale
But I swore I’d be true and I’ll sear and I’ll swear and I’ll sear
Til Kitten’s out of jail
