Four Walls Of Raiford歌词

[00:20.35]Well them four walls of Raiford, closing in on me
[00:26.65]Doin' three to five hard labor, for armed robbery
[00:32.92]I had two years behind me, but I could not wait the time
[00:39.35]Everytime I thought about it, well I died some more inside
[00:44.90]
[00:45.91]And I had stripes on my back, memories that hurt
[00:57.02]
[00:57.83]For the only time I seen sunshine is when I went to work
[01:03.57]Diggin' ditches for the chain gang, sleepin' in the cold
[01:09.31]
[01:10.12]Oh Lord please forgive me for I could not wait the road
[01:16.48]
[01:22.22]And I comin' home to see you Jesus
[01:25.56]Well it feels so close this time
[01:28.68]Please take mercy on a soldier
[01:31.30]
[01:31.92]From the Florida-Georgia line
[01:34.79]When they find me they must kill me
[01:38.16]Oh Jesus save my soul
[01:40.98]I can't go back down to Raiford
[01:44.16]I can't take that anymore
[01:47.59]
[02:30.32]Well these last few years behind me
[02:33.38]Oh Lord, have been so sad
[02:36.12]I fought proudly for my country when the times were bad
[02:42.11]
[02:43.05]Now they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must die
[02:48.91]Only me and Jesus know that I never stole a dime
[02:54.92]
[03:01.41]Well when Vietnam was over there was no work here for me
[03:07.51]I had a pretty wife awaitin and two kids I had to feed
[03:13.75]Well I'm one of America's heroes and when they shoot me down
[03:20.38]Won't you fly old Glory proudly, put my medals in the ground
[03:26.00]
[03:31.30]And I comin' home to see you Jesus
[03:39.03]Well it feels so close this time
[03:42.03]Please take mercy on a soldier
[03:44.46]
[03:45.15]From the Florida-Georgia line
[03:46.59]When they find me they must kill me
[03:51.08]Oh Jesus save my soul
[03:53.02]I can't go back down to Raiford
[03:57.01]I can't take that anymore
