Four Walls Of Raiford Lyrics - Artist : Lynyrd Skynyrd
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 went to work Diggin' ditches for the chain gang, sleepin' in the cold 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 Well, 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 awaiting And two kids I had to feed Well, I'm one of America's heroes And 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 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 |
