A simple twist of fate. Again, not autobiographical in any way.

Don't Tell The Judge I Lied

When they came to tell me they're gonna take me in
I somehow had the sense to flush the evidence
before they could begin.
They had me dead to rights right there in my own place.
I told 'em of my plights with the smile on my face.
I looked at them and cried, "Don't tell the judge I lied."

While I was in prison pondering my fate
I told my cellmate stuff to make me sound more rough,
and stopped myself too late.
He said he had my back. I saw through that excuse.
I knew how he would act to have his time reduced.
I said, "I'll have you fried. Don't tell the judge I lied."

Trial date is set and I am nervous. Will the truth be told?
Some say I am going to prison and return when I'm old.

The bailiff shouted, "All rise!" I heard my stomach wrench.
There, much to my surprise, I couldn't believe my eyes.
My dad sat on the bench.
My dad, he knew my moves since back when I's a kid.
My case I knew I'd lose cuz he'd know what I did.
It cannot be denied. The judge is gonna know I lied.
