Toilet Wine

[Intro]

Met a fella doin' a bid upstate
Said sit down, son, lemme tell ya 'bout fate
Shared the truth that the cellblock hides
You don't pick love, man, it just decides

[Verse 1]

Short fuse lit back in junior high
Mama OD'd, never said goodbye
Caught a body, broke down, and cried
Two more by sixteen, now it's life inside

[Chorus]

Ain't no saints in the prison choir
Just hustlers, cheats, and lowlife liars
No pearly gates, only razor wire
Where hearts grow cold, ours caught fire

[Verse 2]

You were pumpin' iron, I was playin' cards
Classic meet-cute in the prison yard
Tatted-up chest, pants slung down low
Put your hand in my pocket, said, "Where should we go?"

[Verse 3]

Tracin' your spine like a well-worn map
Dangerous love won't ever look back
Ramen and your famous toilet wine
We found the one soft place doin' hard time

[Chorus]

Ain't no saints in the prison choir
Just hustlers, cheats, and lowlife liars
No pearly gates, only razor wire
Where hearts grow cold, ours caught fire

[Bridge]

Papers came in, said you was leavin' in June
Packed the hoodie I gave you, and your one bent spoon
Just two broken boys, we knew it couldn't last
You got out and moved on, but I stayed in our past

[Chorus]

Ain't no saints in the prison choir
Just hustlers, cheats, and lowlife liars
No pearly gates, only razor wire
Where hearts grow cold, ours caught fire

[Outro]

Time don't stop, and it sure don't heal
Some love ain't fake—it just ain't real
