My brother went to prison
Hes in Kingston doin time
He got seven years for sellin
What Ive been smokin all my life
Time off for good behavior
But the boy dont feel too good
Locked behind those steel bars
I dont know if he should
Yeh a few years ago they called me
Back home to get a big award
They also called my brother
But they made him say "My Lord"
They locked me up in a Hall of Fame
And threw away the keys
But when they put my brother away
It really did somethin to me
Now Im guilty as hell for sayin
"Boy you better go back home"
You know youll
get a fair shake there
Were running all alone
When he called me up
from the border
With the Mounties on his tail
I said go back to Canada
We can raise the bail
Now I get these letters
From a cell with no TV
He says hes outside one hour
And inside twenty three
Time off for good behavior
But the boy dont feel too good
Locked behind those steel bars
I dont know if he should
Now Im guilty as hell for sayin
"Boy you better go back home"
You know youll
get a fair shake there
Were running all alone
When he called me up
from the border
With the Mounties on his tail
I said go back to Canada
We can raise the bail
My brother went to prison
Hes in Kingston doin time
He got seven years for sellin
What Ive been smokin all my life
