As I sit here thinking about what
I should do, I wonder will I ever get out of here.
I am in here for drinking and raising hell,
now I wonder if it was worth it.
It's been eight long days
and my life has totally changed.
I've met all kinds of people
some good, some bad, some happy, some sad.
Will I ever get out?
Only time will tell.
But that decision
will be mine.
