Lynyrd Skynyrd - Four Walls Of Railroad lyrics

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 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 [Chorus] And I'm 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 k** 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 [Chorus] 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 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 this soldier From the Florida-Georgia line When they find me they must k** me Oh Jesus save my soul I can't go back down to Raiford I can't take that anymore
