Chagall Guevara Still Know Your Number By Heart Lyrics

Emptying out my pocket's things
Wonderin' 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
But I know 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 assurance 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
And 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
'Cause that little job I pulled last year
Some day 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
