Eight to ten years for possession

i'm living at the state hotel.

i guess i learned my lesson.

i guess i learned it well.

the judge says "i got no discretion.

the law upon that point is clear.

either got to put you up at state expense

or let you walk away from here.

"i see you got a prior conviction.

that just about ties my hands.

they took away my power of decision.

i've got to honor what the law commands.

"you were indicted for conspiracy

to obstruct the right of way."

the plea was civil liberty

but it wasn't a judge that day.

chorus

possession nine points of the law they say

possession take that boy and salt him away.

possession teach him how to obey.

they'd rather let a killer walk the street

than another damn freak like me.

got a wife and kid on the way.

i've never had a nose for crime.

someone passed me a joint one day

and now i'm doing federal time.

got a letter from wife that read

"i just met another man.

it ain't that i don't love you it said.

"i hope you understand."

guess my luck ain't all that bad

smiling through my tears.

seems that the d.a. knew my dad

or i might have got 20 years.

killer comes and a killer walks

while i sit rotting here.

the scene of the crime is the ballot box

and people who vote from fear.

chorus

2nd chorus

possession nine points of the law they say

possession take that boy and lock him away

possession i've come to understand

they'd rather free a man with some blood on his hands

than another damn freak like me.
