When I got locked up, I was in a young, dumb, rowdy phase
Still hanging on to my bachelor days You were still praying for me to start changing
my ways Thirty years old and still acting a fool
Damn near the same kid you met back in school I thought I might have lost you, yeah, I thought
it might have cost me The love and the light of my life
The night I got locked up, everything went wrong
The night I got messed up, should've just stayed home
Picked up my phone, what can I say Well, I thought that you'd walk away
But you stood by your man, tell me why then It hits us praying, we could've just quit
No, but you showed me love You didn't go when the going got tough
The night I got locked up
I remember how you looked like your name You finally gave it to me after the game
We floated on the breeze for like a year and some change
I knew you were down for me back when we met But I didn't know how down for me you'd really get
When you picked up my pieces and my only call I knew you were in, baby, in for the long haul
The night I got locked up, everything went wrong
The night I got messed up, should've just stayed home
Picked up my phone, what can I say Well, I thought that you'd walk away
But you stood by your man, tell me why then It hits us praying, we could've just quit
No, but you showed me love You didn't go when the going got tough
The night I got locked up
The night I got locked up
Girl, you forgave me for my sins You put it down and you ain't brought it up since
I knew that I was done, I knew you were the one, yeah, yeah, yeah
The night I got locked up, everything went wrong
The night I got messed up, should've just stayed home
Picked up my phone, what can I say Well, I thought that you'd walk away
But you stood by your man, tell me why then It hits us praying, we could've just quit
No, but you showed me love You didn't go when the going got tough
The night I got locked up
But you stood by your man
