Lynyrd Skynyrd - Four Walls Of Raiford lyrics

(ronnie vanzant -- jeff carlisi) 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 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 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 k** me Oh jesus save my soul I can't go back down to raiford I can't take that anymore
