Lyrics Seasick Steve – Locked Up And Locked Down Blues

Well you got a lot to think about
When you walk down this hall
Where you gonna spend the next few years
And it ain’t no ball

Why did you have to bust
Into that convenience stole?
Lucky you didn’t use a gun
You’d be here even more

You’ve got them
Locked up and locked down blues

Didn’t your momma and your daddy
Ever teach you how to write?
Now you’re headed down a road
And it might be lite

Ain’t nothin’ worth a doin’
To pay freedom’s calls
Every day inside
Ls another day lost
You’ve got them

Locked up and locked down blues
Locked up and locked down blues
Locked up and locked down blues
Locked up and locked down blues

Oh man, now you’ve got the blues, boy
I swear
You got them locked up and locked down blues
Hmm-mm
I wanna weep for you now
Here I come, I’m gonna weep tor ya
Oh boy!

When you get out, boy
Just walk night in straight
Don’t try to be bad
Forget about hate

Out here you can breathe
Freedom air
Bust up again, boy
You better beware
You’re gonna have them

Locked up and locked down blues
Locked up and locked down blues
Locked up and locked down blues
Locked up and locked down blues

Locked up and locked down blues
Locked up and locked down blues
Locked up and locked down blues
Locked up and locked down blues

Oh, you gonna have them
Locked up and locked down blues
Oh boy, boy
