My mother didn't raise me to be no jailbird 
Doing time ain't her idea of a steady job 
County jail is not the place she wants to find me 
A prison jumpsuit ain't what she wants me to wear 

I didn't have to be a doctor or a lawyer 
Could've been any honest trade that I might choose
Instead of standing here in line with my meal tray 
Never having nothing but the blues 

Please quit calling me from jail, son 
To raise you right I know I failed 
Still it breaks my heart to know you're in there 
Please quit calling me from jail

I might of had a business suit and a briefcase 
A pretty wife, a bank account, a brand new car 
Instead of being a low down drunken loser
Wondering how in the hell did I get here 

Oh, you will never know how much it hurts me 
Just to think my oldest boy is behind bars 
All I hope is that your brother and your sister 
Will not follow the path you are on 

Please quit calling me from jail, son 
To raise you right I know I failed 
I have done all I could do for you 
Please quit calling me from jail
