Intro

Verse

Long before the screen door slammed, she was out of xenia

A stranger could have loved that town, but she had to leave

Chorus

I wish I'd gotten to know her before I fell in love

I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this

cautionary tale

But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear

Til kitten's out of jail

Verse

It was like a TV show, the way she stole that car

Easy now to criticize, easy now to talk

Chorus

I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong

I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this

cautionary tale

But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear

Til kitten's out of jail

Bridge

Didn't want to be a slave

just turned out that way

(Organ solo:listen for the rythm)

Chorus

I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong

I could say she's to blame, say she's the man in this

cautionary tale

But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear

Til kitten's out of jail
