Incarcerated Todd Snider
My baby mother b[E]een incarcerated
Otherwise she woulda been here today to
testify to every word I stated
while it may be complicated this is true in a way
You see this wo[B]man here today I hardly even know her
okay, maybe once or twice I mighta give her a lift, but
s[E]he never lent me any money you honor
every penny that she give me she said was a gift
she said that [B]it was a gift, she said it was a g[E]ift
my baby mother been incarcerated
she had some trouble with an interstate cop who
said he saw her driving by obliterated
and was further frustrated by the way she wouldn't stop
so he ca[B]lled out all the other cops
and had a high speed chase
chased my baby through the side of a tree
that's when I th[E]ink they might've planted
marijuana in her suitcase
the court appointed lawyer told us cop a plea
so we cop[B]ped a plea, we copped a plea[E]
my baby mother been incarcerated
[A]I never had a lot of luck with the ladies your honor
I never had a lot of luck with much of anything
[E] [G] [A] [G] [A]
[A]my baby's mother want to drive a Mercedes your honor
my baby's mother wants to wear a bunch of diamond rings
[E] [G] [A] [G] [B]
[B] she knows damn well I can't afford these things
[E]My baby's mother been incarcerated
I'm kinda glad if I can tell you the truth, but
that don't have a whole lot here to do with this matter
you see this woman here today she just don't have any proof
I don't know wh[B]ose voice that could be
there on the telephone recorder
maybe brother or some other friend that's in on it too
maybe the sa[E]me old friend that came in here
and helped them forge my signature
because that is not my signature I'm telling you the truth
I am tel[B]ling you the truth
I'm telling you the truth[E]
my baby's mother been incarcerated
[A]I understand about the verdict and everything your honor
your just doing your job and that's all right with me
[E] [G] [A] [G] [A]
[A]just one more thing before I leave
for my friends and my family
can you tell me when this particular episode
is gonna be on TV[E] [G] [A] [G] [B]
[B]I'm gonna be on TV
[E]Nobody suffers like the poor people suffer
Nobody suffers like the poor people suffer
Nobody suffers like the poor people suffer
Nobody suffers like the poor people suffer
