Lyrics
Lost my sense of consequence
When I met you in the holding pen
You were chewing on a match stick
Working on your lock pick
Ever since we hopped the fence
It's been county fairs and circus tents
We were walking with our eyes closed
Searching for the sideshow
It's hard to say goodbye
To the perfect alibi
Hard to say goodbye
When you're chained side by side
Playing games of confidence
Just a dollar short of fifty cents
We were getting what we came for
Sneaking out the back door
Caught with that Mercedes Benz
We told the judge it was self defense
Now we're headed for the seaside
Drinking in the moonshine
It's hard to say goodbye
To the perfect alibi
Hard to say goodbye
When you're chained side by side
Nothing can come between us
No key to this predicament
But if you've got my back
At least we know what we are up against
Back again in the holding pen
At least you know where your baby went
So tell me is it too soon
For digging with a soup spoon
Can't get back our innocence
But we're living here in the present tense
Yeah we're trying out a new style
Sawing with a nail file
It's hard to say goodbye
To the perfect alibi
Hard to say goodbye
When you're chained side by side
Hard to say goodbye
And heaven knows we've tried
The evidence don't lie
You know it's hard to say goodbye
