lyrics
no blood
no turnip
not a stone
alone in debtor's prison
debtor's prison all alone
They sent the sheriff to my house
my dear wife answered the door
with a crying baby in her arms
the sheriff says where has your husband gone
we'll smoke him out
you'll never find him she says
as shes pointing right under the bed
where i am hiding
they drag me out in chains
no blood
no turnip
not a stone
alone in debtor's prison
debtor's prison all alone
no cushion
no savings
no safety net
in our hearts
we have pockets
of lazy regret
alone in debtor's prison
debtor's prison all alone
no turnip
not a stone
alone in debtor's prison
debtor's prison all alone
They sent the sheriff to my house
my dear wife answered the door
with a crying baby in her arms
the sheriff says where has your husband gone
we'll smoke him out
you'll never find him she says
as shes pointing right under the bed
where i am hiding
they drag me out in chains
no blood
no turnip
not a stone
alone in debtor's prison
debtor's prison all alone
no cushion
no savings
no safety net
in our hearts
we have pockets
of lazy regret
alone in debtor's prison
debtor's prison all alone
