Time Off for Good Behavior

[Verse 1] My brother went to prison He's in Kingston doing time He got seven years for selling What I've been smoking all my life Time off for good behavior But the boy don't feel too good Locked behind those steel bars I don't know if he should [Verse 2] Yeah, a few years ago, they called me Back home to get a big award They also called my brother But they made him say "My Lord" They locked me up in a hall of fame And threw away the key But when they put my brother away It really did something to me [Chorus] Now I'm guilty as hell for saying "Boy, you better go back home" You know you'll get a fair shake there We're running all alone When he called me up from the border With the Mounties on his tail I said, "Go back to Canada We can raise the bail" (We can raise the bail, we can raise the bail) [Verse 3] Now I get these letters From a cell with no TV He says he's outside one hour And inside twenty-three Time off for good behavior But the boy don't feel too good Locked behind those steel bars I don't know if he should [Chorus] Now I'm guilty as hell for saying "Boy, you better go back home" You know you'll get a fair shake there We're running all alone When he called me up from the border With the Mounties on his tail I said, "Go back to Canada We can raise the bail" (We can raise the bail, we can raise the bail) [Outro] My brother went to prison He's in Kingston doing time He got seven years for selling What I've been smoking all my life
