Lynyrd Skynyrd - Four Walls Of Raiford lyrics
Your rating:
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 and memories that hurt For the only time I 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 parole. 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. 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 a-waitin' 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'm comin' home to see you, Jesus - Oh, 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.
