Song Lyrics for Out on Bail or Back in Jail

I swore I’d turn it all around this time,
But trouble’s always lurkin’ close behind,
Friends from the past keep callin’ my name,
And before I know it, I’m back in the game.

Tryin’ to walk a straight, clean line,
But somehow I end up doin’ time,
Every step forward, two steps back,
My past keeps draggin’ me off track,
I wanna break free, but I always fail,
Out on bail or back in jail.

Mama says she’s prayin’ every night,
But her boy can’t seem to get it right,
Every promise I make, I seem to break,
One wrong move is all it takes.

Tryin’ to walk a straight, clean line,
But somehow I end up doin’ time,
Every step forward, two steps back,
My past keeps draggin’ me off track,
I wanna break free, but I always fail,
Out on bail or back in jail.

I see the sun, but I live in the shade,
A life of mistakes that I’ve self-made,
One more chance, I say it again,
But deep down I know how this’ll end.

Tryin’ to walk a straight, clean line,
But somehow I end up doin’ time,
Every step forward, two steps back,
My past keeps draggin’ me off track,
I wanna break free, but I always fail,
Out on bail or back in jail.

I see the faces of those I’ve let down,
The weight of regret, it’s draggin’ me down,
But the road I’m on, it’s hard to leave,
Every choice I make, another web I weave.

Tryin’ to walk a straight, clean line,
But somehow I end up doin’ time,
Every step forward, two steps back,
My past keeps draggin’ me off track,
I wanna break free, but I always fail,
Out on bail or back in jail.

Maybe someday I’ll find my way,
But for now, it’s just another day,
Out on bail or back in jail,
Prayin’ one day I won’t derail.

Special thanks to Brandon Bliss for the accompanying imagery.
