[ duet with Waylon Jennings ]

Bet it ain't a rainin' back home bet your sister's still on the phone

Bet mama's in the kitchen cookin' fried chicken wishin' that I hadn't done wrong

Mama don't you worry about me now know everything's gonna be alright mama

They're teachin' us a lot of new things in here mama

Things like there ain't no good in an evil hearted woman

And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James

And you don't go writin' hot checks down in Mississippi

And there ain't no good chain gang

[ guitar ]

Papa's readin' yesterday's mail wishin' that the hay was all baled

I bet he's a wishin' we could go fishin' and here I am a layin' in jail

Well papa don't you worry about it none now everything's gonna be alright papa

They're teachin' us a lesson today we're learning pretty well too

We've already learned a whole lot stuff already

Things like there ain't no good...

There ain't no good...

[ guitar ]

There ain't no good...

There ain't no good...
