Four Walls Of Raiford

歌詞

(Ronnie VanZant -- Jeff Carlisi) Well them four walls of Raiford, closing in on me Doin' three to five hard labor, for armed robbery I had two years behind me, but I could not wait the time Everytime I thought about it, well I died some more inside And I had stripes on my back, memories that hurt For the only time I seen sunshine is when I went to work Diggin' ditches for the chain gang, sleepin' in the "hole" Oh Lord please forgive me for I could not wait parole And I comin' home to see you Jesus Well it feels so close this time Please take mercy on a soldier From the Florida-Georgia line When they find me they must kill me Oh Jesus save my soul 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 Now they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must die Only me and Jesus know that I never stole a dime Well when Vietnam was over there was no work here for me I had a pretty wife awaitin and two kids I had to feed Well I'm one of America's heroes and when they shoot me down Won't you fly old Glory proudly, put my medals in the ground And I comin' home to see you Jesus Well it feels so close this time Please take mercy on a soldier From the Florida-Georgia line When they find me they must kill me Oh Jesus save my soul I can't go back down to Raiford I can't take that anymore
