15 Minutes

[Verse 1]

Hey there, mama, how you been?

Thought I'd call and check on in

See how things are goin' back at home

Tell me, how's your garden doin'?

I'm sure the daffodils are bloomin'

And what you got for supper on the stove?

It sounds like you're doin' fine

Me, I'm gettin' by

[Chorus]

There's a chain gang waitin' in a long line to use this phone

Same old view, cinder block room, same old jumpsuit on

Just tryin' to make the best of the rest of this life sentence

But enough about me, I only get fifteen minutes

[Verse 2]

Not dwеllin' on it makes it better

What books you rеadin' How's the weather?

Think dad'll ever talk to me again?

Does he still drink beer with his buddies?

Are you still teachin' Bible study?

Does Jesus really forgive all my sins?

Well, all kinds of things cross my mind

With all this doin' time

[Chorus]

And a chain gang waitin' in a long line to use this phone

Same old view, cinder block room, same old jumpsuit on

I'm just tryin' to make the best of the rest of this life sentence

But enough about me, I only get fifteen minutes

[Bridge]

The warden's in here tappin' on his watch

I love you, mom, but I gotta go, I got

[Chorus]

A chain gang waitin' in a long line to use this phone

Same old view, cinder block room, same old jumpsuit on

I'm just tryin' to make the best of the rest of this life sentence

But enough about me, I only get fifteen minutes
