Lovin You

by Tony & Elsie Phipps - Not entered

I was driving my car
and i just left the bar
when the blue lights hit me
Judge put me in jail
with five-thousand bail
and no security

so here i sit with all my regret
wonderin what you think about me
Girl i made up my mind after this time
Your love will set me free

Darlin i love you so 
but where would i go
if it ended this way
We can find it in our hearts
to make a new start
every single day

Ill be a new man 
and do all i can
now i pray if youll just wait
Ill get these things straight
and start today loving you

Im settin in this jail
thinkin about the hell
I put you through
staring at these walls
wonderin if shell call
and hopin shell be true

Im goin to straighten up
Ive had about enough
this incarcaration's killin me
Ive made up my mind
after this time 
Your love will set me free

Darlin i love you so
but where would i go
if it ended this way
if you could find in your heart
we could make a new start
every single day

Ill be a new man
and do all i can
now i pray
that if youll just wait
Ill get these things straight
and start every day lovin you
