lyrics

Well I was driving home one night from Philadelphia.
I got lost in the city and couldn't find the club.
Now it's jail for Christmas, that's what they wanna see.
And while my dad he laughs at home, it's Gander Hill for me.

Coming off of Exit 6, merging to 95.
What happened moments after, I couldn't believe my eyes.
A man he struck me broadside then put the blame on me!
Now my car is fucking totaled. Highway full of debris!
I've got this pretty Philly belle, who I'd stop the world to please.
I ain't heard from her in days and it's fucking with me.
My freedom's on the line here, and no one seems to care!
Well I wonder what the inmates will think of my long hair!

Well I was driving home one night from Philadelphia.
I got lost in the city and couldn't find the club.
Now it's jail for Christmas, that's what they wanna see.
And while my dad he laughs at home, it's Gander Hill for me.

Court date on the 23rd, clock ticking all the time.
I can't believe I'm getting booked for such minimal crimes.
I'm sitting here wondering, where did I go wrong?
But now all I can do is stand here and sing this song!
Well that little, pretty Philly girl finally got a hold of me.
She's been stressing about working and her college degree.
She don't know what's going on though, can't bear to bring the truth.
But here comes the bailiff. Goodbye to all of you!

Well I was driving home one night from Philadelphia.
I got lost in the city and couldn't find the club.
Now it's jail for Christmas, that's what they wanna see.
And while my dad he laughs at home, it's Gander Hill for me.
