Four Walls of Raiford |
Well, them four walls of Raiford closing in on me |
Doin' three to five 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 died some more inside |
And I had stripes on my back; |
memories that hurt |
For the only time I seen sunshine is when I get to work |
Diggin' ditches for the chain gang; |
sleepin' in the cold |
Oh, Lord, please forgive me for I could not wait no more |
And I 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 |
These last few years behind me, oh Lord, have been so sad |
I fought proudly for my country when the times were 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 awaitin' and two kids I had to feed |
Well I’m one of America’s heroes |
When they shoot me down won’t you fly old glory proudly? |
Put my medals in the ground |
And I 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 |
