Lyrics
VERSE
He had a bit too much to drink
Lost his ability to think
And so fell in lust with a girl he just met
On the job, he told off his boss
So I guess it was quite the loss
'Cause now a new job he's needin' to get

PRE-CHORUS
And now that his wife has found out about all this...

CHORUS
(Now) He's praying for a pocketful of pardons
'Cause he knows he'll need every one
She'd probably make a pretty tough warden
Prison doesn't sound like very much fun
Will she forgive him for all he has done?
He's so praying for a pocketful of pardons

VERSE
Now he's had a bit more bad luck
Threw all his money into the muck
Straight down a five-dollar slot machine
It's been one thing after another
He got in a fight with her mother
Told her she was off her bean

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Some guys have a little man on their shoulder
Who keeps them out of trouble; some guys don't

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/Repeat CHORUS /TAG
Yes, he's so praying for a pocketful of pardons
