John Gorka Vinnie Charles Is Free
There's a party down at Kale's
Vinnie Charles is out of jail again
His ex's will be there
And his daughter Nida has bought him an easy chair
He kicked the cocaine in the can
An eightball a day is not cheap for any man
His street clothes have all shrunk in size
But most of the weight that is gained was in his eyes
Most of the weight that is gained was in his eyes
He did nine of a possible twelve
He still says he didn't know what the package held
He still says he didn't know
Just a favor for a friend
But big Buddy Cara left him to swing in the wind
Big Buddy Cara left him to swing in the wind
He made it through Mexico
The car threw a rod below San Diego
A copper pulled over to help
But poor Vinnie's poker face could not control itself
He was always a likeable guy
The women passed under him as if he could fly
The women passed under him as if he could fly
Three more years on parole
Time will tell how much the time inside took it's toll
Time will tell how much the time inside took it's toll
"There's two things I know well" he says
"The ways that I hurt and all of the ways to hell"
"The ways that I hurt and all of the ways to hell"
Vinnie Charles is free
Vinnie Charles is out of the pen
Vinnie Charles is free for now
Mightier than the sword (and then)
Vinnie Charles is free
Vinnie Charles is free
