We danced that night so close together
We said that we'd never part
I thought it for worse or for better
But I didn't see the chains on your heart
For your father kept the peace in the county
And although they say justice is blind
He led me in cuffs to his jailhouse
For trying to make you mine
They said your love was taken
As they led me down the hall
Now you're in the arms of another
And I'm in the arms of the law
Interlude
Now one day I'll break from this prison
To see if there's truth to this tale
And if you're locked in the arms of another
I'll be better off locked in this jail
They said your love was taken
As they led me down the hall
Now you're in the arms of another
And I'm in the arms of the law
Yes, I'm in the arms of the law
