My name is Annie
I'm about your daughter's age
Happy with my living, earning minimum wage
Last year I had a baby,
Love him with all I got
But the bills, they became too much, so I moved a little pot
Now I'm an ex-patriot in my hometown
I can't even vote to change the laws that put me down
I only pray that you fare better
I'll wear my marijuana leaf like a badge, it's my scarlet letter
Time goes slow here
From behind these bars
But I'm not so far away that I can't hear the cars
Driving down the freeway
Wishing one of them could give
me that short ride downtown where my little boy lives
But I'm an ex-patriot in my hometown
I can't even vote to change the laws that put me down
I only pray that you fare better
I'll wear my marijuana leaf like a badge, it's my scarlet letter
Now I don't want you
to feel sorry for me
I ain't on bended knee for your sympathy
I knew it wasn't legal
but was it really so wrong
to justify locking me up here for so damn long
Well, I'm an ex-patriot in my hometown
I can't even vote to change the laws that put me down
I only pray that you fare better
I'll wear my marijuana leaf like a badge, it's my scarlet letter
