There Ain't No Good Chain Gang (with Waylon Jennings)

Bet it ain't rainin' back home

Bet your sister's still on the phone

Bet Momma's in the kitchen, cookin' fried chicken

Wishing that I hadn't done wrong, yeah

Momma, don't you worry about it none though

Everything's gonna be all right, Momma

They're teachin' us a lot of new things in here Momma

Things like

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman

And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James

And you don't go writin' hot cheques down in Mississippi

And there ain't no good chain gang

Papa's readin' yesterday's mail

Wishin' that the hay was all baled

I bet he's a-wishin' we could go fishin'

And here I am a-layin' in jail

Well, Papa, don't you worry about it none now

Everything's gonna be all right, Papa

They're teachin' us a lesson a day we're learnin' pretty well too

We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already

Things like

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman

And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James

And you don't go writin' hot cheques down in Mississippi

And there ain't no good chain gang

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman

And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James

And you don't go writin' hot cheques down in Mississippi

And there ain't no good chain gang

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman

And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James

And you don't go writin' hot cheques down in Mississippi

And there ain't no good chain gang

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman

And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James

And you don't go writin' hot cheques down in Mississippi

And there ain't no good chain gang
