Just playin' my strait-jacket blues
Tryin' to tell people the bad news
The messiah, his name was Jesus
Claimin' good news
With my strait- jacket blues

You see if i lost my mind and my guitar
I'd be alone, singin' my strait-jacket blues
My strait-jacket blues

I'm lost in my mind
Won't somebody come and find me
I'm going to get lost in the strait-jacket blues

Making my music, i'm going to lose it
I'm going to feel the bad news

No messiah can save me
No messiah can save me from the strait-jacket blues

I'll just ignore the phone that is ringing
The people
And I'll sing you a song

And I'll call it

The strait-jacket blues
The strait-jacket blues
The strait-jacket blues
