| [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 |
