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
