Remember all them silver rings?
And all them perdy, flashy thangs?
And all them strings of telephone rings?
And endless nights with him and them?
Was cursin' loud such a sin?
And losin' my temper in a drunken night din?
Ugly prison walls
Barren prison tall
Ain't nothin' like havin' no one at all....
To see all the laughter comin' to an end
Not even a dog to call friend
Tell me honey baby, is it ever gonna end?
Now I see myself so bright
It's only me, myself and I
Searchin' for distraction from my cotton-pickin' plight
Ugly prison walls
Barren prison tall
Ain't nothin' like havin' no one at all....
Years in prison life I wonder:
How'd I go so far asunder?
All that junk I pillaged and plundered!
All my sass is done and gone
But, Lord! Now something's come!
I know myself now, honky tonk honey bun.

Heart-wrenchin', gut-bustin', chart-toppin' . . . shall I go on? Suffice it to say, Kippy 'Troubles' Treble is more than welcome to share all her self-reflectin' tunes here at DP!
This is what country music should be!
