nd Fret Intro: (2x) There's a party down at Kale's Vinnie Charles is out of jail again His ex's will be there His daughter Nida has bought him an easy-chair He kicked the cocaine in the can An eight-ball a day is not cheap for any man His street clothes have all shrunk in size But most of the weight that he gained was in his eyes Most of the weight that he gained was in his eyes Did nine of a possible twelve He still says he didn't know what the package held He still says he didn't know Just a favour for a friend Big buddy, Cara, left him to swing in the wind Big buddy, Cara, left him to swing in the wind Bridge: He made it through Mexico The car threw a rod below San Diego A copper pulled over to help But poor Vinnie's poker face could not control itself He was always a likeable guy Women passed under him, as if he could fly The women passed under him, as if he could fly Three more years on parole Time will tell how much, the time inside took it's toll Time will tell how much, the time inside took it's toll "There's two things I know well", he says "The ways that I hurt and all of the ways to hell" "The ways that I hurt and all of the ways to hell" FINALE: Vinnie Charles is free Vinnie Charles is out of the pen Vinnie Charles is free for now Mightier than the sword (and then) Vinnie Charles is free Vinnie Charles is free OUTRO:
