Well them four walls of Raiford, closing in on me
Doin'
three to five hard labor, for armed robbery
I had two years behind, but I could not wait the
time
Everytime 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 hit the dirt
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 this 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 awaitin and two kids I had to feed
Well I'm one
of America's heroes and when they shoot me down
Won't 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 this 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
