Lynyrd Skynyrd "The Four Walls Of Raiford" |
Well them four walls of raiford Closein' in on me Doin' 3 to 5 hard labor For armed robbery I had two years behind me But I could not wait the time Every time I thought about it Well I'd die some more inside And I had stripes on my back Memories that hurt For the only time I'd 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 to roll And I'm 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 fault proudly for my country When the times are 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 a'waitin' And two kids I had to feed Well I'm one of America's heros And when they shoot me down Won't you fly ol' glory proudly Put my medals in the ground And I'm comin' home to see you Jesus Well it feels so close this time Please take mercy on a soldier From the Florida Gorgia 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 Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
