Traveling Parole Board Blues By Whiskey Joe Leadfoot Well now I got called just the other day, To this big board meeting that was underway, Yeah they ushered me in and they sat me down, And I thought to myself, whatve I done now? But this guy in the middle who was wearing a frown, Said were the Traveling Parole Board making the rounds, We can judge you better when were face to face, And were here today to review your case.... So I thought to myself, now that sure sounds fine, Cause I was starting to have doubts about doing my time, I told that Judge when he sentenced me here, I didnt think I could do no three hundred years.... But this dude reaches down and pulls out this file, That was thicker than that stuff on the farm that you pile, And I didnt know then but I was soon to see, It had about the same consistency..... Well he opened that thing and he read for a bit, And then his eyebrows raised and he bit his lip, And his jaw got tight and he shook his head, He looked at me with a glare and he said; This first report it dont look so good, You aint been acting the way that you should, Youre stubborn and anti-social and proud, And I said well, why dont you just read the damn thing out loud... So he did.....and it said..... Chorus: He wears love beads and a Mickey Mouse watch, Hes three quarters German and two quarters Scotch, He reads western novels and underground news, And I dont think we can turn this man loose..... And the Classification report was clear, He wont go along with the program in here, He keeps nagging us with requests of his, Demanding to know what the program is... And the Psyche said well I done my best, But he must have cheated when he took those tests, Cause they showed up too much normalcy, For anyone in his condition to be. And Ive never had a wrong prognosis, And this mans got an acute neurosis, Hes a hebephrenic and schizoid too, Why theres just no telling what this manll do..... He wears love beads and a Mickey Mouse watch, And he sees strange things in our ink blots, He reads science fiction and the Plain Truth too, And we just cant turn a nut like this loose..... Well by this time here I was starting to sweat, But this guy who was talking wasnt finished just yet, And I thought to myself what more can there be? Till he read this report from custody..... Well this mans a rebel and hes militant too, He takes LSD and he drinks home brew, Hes late for work and he gambles at cards, He walks counter-clockwise in the exercise yard..... He killed four hundred men in his mind last week, We know cause we had our psychiatrist peek, He claims to be changed but its likely a ruse, And theres just no way we can turn this man loose..... He wears weird beads and oddball watches, And his record is marred with terrible blotches, He reads Che Gueverra and Karl Marx too, And theres just no way we can turn this man loose..... Now when I heard all that my knees got weak, And I tried to protest but I could not speak, And they said times up, youll have to go, Just keep on trucking, well let you know..... So I got that report that they sent to me, And it said deferred indefinitely, But just hang in there cause if youre still here.. Youll get a mandatory in two hundred years..... Thats a parole son...yeah, a mandatory parole, Whats the matter with you boy?... Aint you never heard of one of them things? Copyright 2004 Whiskey Joe Leadfoot
