It wasn't you, the Angel on my mind.
in the end i wasn't sad to leave behind
i did a lot of bad things, got busted, now i find:
that ive got to suck it up and do the time in mind

i was out carousing for oh so many nights
dipping here and dipping there, i give myself a fright
most everybody near me, they got so reliant
now i've got to suck it up and do the time in mind

time in mind
should be an easy thing to do
time in mind 
your not in a cell there aint no screws
but you'll find, 
your conscience giving it you

it goes 
do 
do do 
do do 
do do 
do the time in mind

do 
do do 
do do 
do do 
do the time in mind

my uncles, they told me, the right thing to do
i knew they told the truth
but still i carried right on through,......

still i broke their hearts
hers and hers and mine
now i've got to suck it up and do the time in mind

time in mind
should be an easy thing to do
time in mind 
your not in a cell there aint no screws
but youll find, 
your conscience giving it you


it goes 
do 
do do 
do do 
do do 
do the time in mind

do 
do do do 
do do 
do do 
do the time in mind

one of these broken-hearted women said to me one day
i wish there was a court for love, 
they'd surely make you pay
i said "I'm so sorry darling, there's no court of that kind, but you should know I've been a prisoner doing the time in mind"

time in mind
should be an easy thing to do
time in mind 
you're not in a cell there ain't no screws
but you'll find, 
your conscience giving it you

it goes 
do 
do do 
do do 
do do 
do the time in mind

do 
do do 
do do 
do do 
do the time in mind
