Lyrics Doin' Time - Chris Murray

Doin' Time

I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, been lying on the bunk all week
Yes, this charge, I can’t beat is keeping me off the street
Sent me down one more year, just waiting for the papers to clear
Oh, it seems like I’m just doin' time without you
Locked me down in the hole, to polish my tarnished soul
Yes, the filth and the grime have opened up my mind
Yes, I know I deserve the sentence that’s being served
Yes, it seems like I’m just doin' time without you
I’ve told the truth, confessed my crime
Kept my behaviour good, read the good book line by line
Yes, my lesson is learned, I’m ready to be returned
But, it seems like I’m just doin' time without you
Time moves so slow behind these gates
And all there is to do, pound my pile of rocks and wait
Mark each day on the wall and dream about a freedom call
Oh, it seems like I’m just doin' time without you
Yes, it seems like I’m just doin' time without you
Oh!
It seems like I’m just doin' time without you
