Spent all night in a crowded cell
Woke up on the floor
One thing Sonja sure as hell
I won't be back no more
Me and Fleet are headed home today
Me and Fleet are headed home to stay
Praise the Lord, Sonja
I'm hanging up my hooker shoes for good
(Yeah, sure you are)
Lighten up sister
It's a brand-new day (not to me)
Ain't the weather fine?
Ain't a cloud in sight
It's a lovely day to be outta jail
How that sun do shine
Like a golden light
What a lovely day to be outta jail
I been in the shade
(Girl, I know what you mean)
Thanks to legal aid
I am back on the scene
(Welcome back to the scene)
If the sky turns gray
That'll be okay
I don't care if there be
Thunder and hail
'Cause the fact remains
Even if it rains
It's a lovely day to be outta jail
Winter ain't no thing
No, I don't give a damn (when you don't give a damn)
Every day is green (every day is green)
When you're sprung
From the slam
This morning I could hardly wait
'Til it was time to journey
Through that iron gate
I threw back my head
Looked up at the sky and I said
Ain't the weather fine?
Ain't a cloud in sight
It's a lovely day to be outta jail
How that sun do shine
Like a golden light
What a lovely day to be outta jail
You won't see me frown
When the sun's outta sight
'Cause I'm getting down
With my daddy tonight
Everything's okay
Far as I can see
It's a lovely day
When you're finally free
