Kingdom Come

Well I walked in the pouring rainAnd I heard a voice that cries it's all in vainThe voice of doom was shining in my roomI just need one day somewhere far awayLord I just need one day

Well I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comesAnd cuttin' this hay until the Kingdom comesYes, I'll be breaking these rocksIt's my price to pay until the Kingdom comes

The river's so muddy, but it may come clearAnd I know too well what's keeping me hereI'm just the slave of a burning rayGive me the night, I can't take another sightPlease give me the night

Well I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comesAnd cuttin' this hay until the Kingdom comesYes, I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comesIt's my price to pay until the Kingdom comes

The sun keeps beating down the wall's a mile highUp in the tower they're watching me hoping I'm gonna die

But they'll open these cells when the Kingdom comesI won't be breaking no rocks when the Kingdom comesYes, they'll open these cells when the Kingdom comesI won't hear their talk when the Kingdom comesI'm going up for pardon when the Kingdom comesWell pardon me when the Kingdom comesI won't be breaking no rocks when the Kingdom comes
