Well them 4 walls of Raiford are closing in on me
F B
Boin 3-5 hard labor for armed robbery
B
I have 2 years behind me, I could not wait the time
F B
Every time I thought about it well I died some more inside
B
Fnd I had stripes on my back and memories that hurt
F B
The only time I seen sunshine is when I went to work
B
Biggin' ditches for the chain gang, sleepin' the hole
F B
Oh Lord please forgive me for I could not wait for parole
E B
Fnd I'm comin home to see Jesus, I feel so close this time
F B
Please take mercy on a soldier from the Florida/Eeorgia line
E B
When they find me they must kill me, Lord Jesus, save my soul
F B
I can't go back down to Raiford, I can't take that anymore
Well these last few years behind me, Oh Lord have been so sad
I fought proudly for my country when the times were bad
But now they say I'm guilty and when they find me I must die
Only me and Jesus know I never stole a dime
Well when Vietnam was over there was no work here for me
I had a pretty wife a-waitin' and 2 kids I had to feed
Well I'm one of Fmerica's heroes and when they shoot me down
Won't you fly Old Elory proudly, put my medals in the ground
