I went to prison with him that summer
A teenage kid so far from home
He was a lonely killer of lawmen
Hell bent to make me his own
We were a thousand cells from the warden
Concrete floors as far as I could see
Both needing something from each other
Not knowing yet what that might be
'Til he came to me one evening
Long shank in hand and a smile
In a jumpsuit that I was certain
He hadn't washed in quite awhile
There was a difference in his laughter
There was a rise in his trousers
And on the air there was a hunger
Even a new inmate could recognize
(Chorus)
He had me lick him down under
To taste the jelly from his thighs
Tasting this filth I wondered
What he'd do if I began to cry
I had to kiss his pus filled rashes
Like a cat cleaning itself right
Shoving headlong into him
Now where only men have been
Burning my end all night
That prison stench was all around me
Nothing between us but the night
And when I told him that I'd never
He softly whispered do it or die
And then I watched his hands of leather
Clench the shank full of rust
There's never been a summer
When I have ever learned so much
(Repeat chorus)
I often think about that summer
The sweat, the moonlight and the lace
And I have rarely held another
When I haven't seen his face
And every time I pass a prison
I get a burning in my end
Although I know it isn't real
I just can't help but feel
His hairy arms again
(Repeat chorus)
Rushing headlong into him
Out where only men have been
Wearing my ass out all night
