Lyrics Doing My Time - Tony Rice

Doing My Time

When that old judge looked down and smiled
He said I’ll put you on that good road for a while, Lord Lord
Gotta do my time, gotta do my time
With an aching heart and a worried mind
You can hear my hammer you can hear my song
I’ll swing it like John Henry all day long, Lord Lord
Gotta do my time, gotta do my time
With an aching heart and a worried mind
It won’t be long, just a few more days
I’ll settle down and quit my rowdy ways Lord Lord
with that gal of mine, with that gal of mine
She’ll be waiting for me when I’ve done my time
