Four Walls Of Raiford

Well, them four walls of Raiford, closin' 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 Every time 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'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 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 when they shoot me down Won't 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 kill me Oh Jesus, save my soul I can't go back down to Raiford I can't take that anymore
