Four Walls of Raiford
Well them four walls of Raiford, closing in on meDoin' three to five hard labor, for armed robberyI had two years behind, but I could not wait the timeEverytime I thought about it, well I died some more inside
And I had stripes on my back, memories that hurtFor the only time I seen sunshine is when I hit the dirtDiggin' ditches for the chain gang, sleepin' in the coldOh Lord please forgive me for I could not wait no more
And I comin' home to see you JesusWell it feels so close this timePlease take mercy on this soldierFrom the Florida-Georgia line
When they find me they must kill meOh Jesus save my soulI can't go back down to RaifordI can't take that anymore
Well these last few years behind meOh Lord, have been so sadI fought proudly for my country when the times were badNow they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must dieOnly me and Jesus know that I never stole a dime
Well when Vietnam was over there was no work here for meI had a pretty wife awaitin and two kids I had to feedWell I'm one of America's heroes and when they shoot me downWon't fly old Glory proudly, put my medals in the ground
And I comin' home to see you JesusWell it feels so close this timePlease take mercy on this soldierFrom the Florida-Georgia line
When they find me they must kill meOh Jesus save my soulI can't go back down to RaifordI can't take that anymore
