It wasn't you the angel on my mind
In the end I wasn't sad to leave behind
I did a lot of bad things got busted now I'm fine
Now I've got to suck it up and do the time in mind
I was out carousing for oh so many nights
Dipping here and dipping there i give myself a fright
Most everybody near me they got sold a line
Now I've got to suck it up and do the time in mind
Time in mind
Should be an easy thing to do
Time in mind
Your not in a cell there ain't no screws
But you'll find
Your conscience giving in to you
It goes do do-do do-do do do do the time in mind
Do do-do do-do do do do the time in mind
My uncles they told me the right thing to do
I knew they told the truth but still I carried right on through
Till I broke their hearts
Hers and hers and mine
Now I've got to suck it up and do the time in mind
Time in mind
Should be an easy thing to do
Time in mind
Your not in a cell there aint no screws
But you'll find
Your conscience giving in to you
It goes do do-do do-do do do do the time in mind
Do do-do do-do do do do the time in mind
One of these broken-hearted women said to me one day
I wish there was a court for love they'd surely make you pay
I said I'm so sorry darling there's no court of that kind
But you should know I've been a prisoner doing the time in mind
Time in mind
Should be an easy thing to do
Time in mind
Your not in a cell there aint no screws
But you'll find
Your conscience giving in to you
It goes do do-do do-do do do do the time in mind
Do do-do do-do do do do the time in mind
