This song was born from a fun conversation with the real "Mr. Jay". a bail-bondsman in Houston. He not only inspired the song with his stories, but helped to "Houstonify" it.
I like this song for the fun. I'm not happy with the mix--especially the bass panned left, the mono drums, the guitar sound, and the over-done piano licks Other than that? Hazards.
I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay
I am quite surprised to see you, I must say
Please don't haul me off to Jail
I'll be back to check my mail
I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay.
Ain't this Memphis springtime something else to feel?
I've been busking for a bus ticket down on Beale
See that lady there that let you through the door.
Ain't none like her back in Houston anymore.
I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay
And I'm quite surprised to see you I must say
Please don't haul me off to jail
I'll be back to check my mail
I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay.
I'll head back to Cunny Homes in old 3rd ward
Baby's mama prolly thinks there's some reward
Got to get back to my biz on Scott and Clay
Give me one more week, I'll be back Mr. Jay
Instrumental
Ain't this LA breeze a bucketful of bliss?
Ain't no courtroom back in Houston quite like this
You look like you've been working pretty hard
Stick around, I'll show you Sunset Boulevard.
I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay
I am quite surprised to see you, I must say
Please don't haul me off to Jail
I'll be back to check my mail
I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay.
Ain't this New York City something, Lord I swear
Since you made it here, you'll make it anywhere
It's up to you if you think it's time to go.
Got no money and I'm scared of Mexico
I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay
And I'm not surprised to see you I must say
I'll crawl off of this here stoop
get back inside the loop
I am not jumping bail Mr. Jay
I am not jumping bail
I'm not jumping bail
I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay
