Lyrics

[00:06.97] 15 Years on the county line
[00:09.62] Enough to make a man nearly lose his mind
[00:12.74] Down in Arlington, Virginia where the law make us stay
[00:18.47] Ball and chain never felt so real
[00:20.97] Walls of stone fifty bars of steel
[00:23.88] When the warden gives me pardon darlin' I'll be coming home your way
[00:30.14] And I wish you could have seen it when the good Lord spun me round
[00:36.65] I should have known better than to think they could keep a good man down
[00:44.32] So please don't you worry
[00:47.71] Please don't you ever come see me
[00:55.00] Leaving out of Texas for that eastern sunrise
[00:59.46] Well now, I was in a bad way Lord but not to my surprise
[01:06.15] Judge in a cornfield tryin' a man
[01:09.31] They said let him hang in the white desert sand
[01:11.79] When the warden gives me pardon darlin' I'll be coming home your way
[01:18.00] And I wish you could have seen it when the good Lord spun me round
[01:24.60] I should have known better than to think they could keep a good man down
[01:32.17] So please don't you worry
[01:35.66] Please don't you ever come see me
[01:43.64]
[02:00.03] 15 Years on the county line
[02:02.87] Enough to make a man nearly lose his mind
[02:06.38] Down in Arlington, Virginia where the law make us stay
[02:12.12] Ball and chain never felt so real
[02:15.22] Walls of stone fifty bars of steel
[02:18.14] When the warden gives me pardon darlin' I'll be coming home your way
[02:24.72] And I wish you could have seen it when the good Lord spun me round
[02:31.33] I should have known better than to think they could keep a good man down
[02:38.88] So please don't you worry
[02:42.59] Please don't you ever come see me
