Let's get this circus on down the road We're taking bets how far a tank of gas will go Call up your best friend, then call two more About to do some shit that you ain't seen before There ain't no backdoor, there ain't no sign Location changes almost every other night Last time we found it, can't remember much I thought I was a God until my lawyer woke me up and said I Testify that I was right out of my mind Let the record show I did it all for rock and roll Screamin' every night, playing 25 to Life So somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin Out of San Quentin Just keep me out of San Quentin Ooh, can somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin? Got out on bail, we hit the town Somebody told me we should burn it to the ground Too many favors, too much to drink Come 6 AM, they had me back inside the clink I'm gonna testify that I was right out of my mind Let the record show I did it all for rock and roll Screamin' every night, playing 25 to Life So can somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin? Out of San Quentin Oh, just keep me out of San Quentin Ooh, can somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin? Tough to find, a goddamn alibi Wrong or right, it's tough to justify Can't dismiss, too many witnesses When insanity's the pattern, it don't matter what it is I'm gonna testify that I was right out of my mind Let the record show I did it all for rock and roll Screamin' every night, playing 25 to Life So somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin Out of San Quentin Oh, just keep me out of San Quentin Ooh, can somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin?
