[Intro]
D A G
DNow these four walls of Raiford closing in on me.
Doing tAhree to five hard labor for Garmed robbDery.
I Dput two years well behind me, but I could not wait the time
For everyAtime I thought about it, Lord I died some mGore inDside.
DAnd they put stripes on my back. Memories of hurt.
And the only Atime I seen sunshine is when I Gshoveled Ddirt.
DDigging ditches on the chain gain and sleeping in the holes.
Oh LoArd, please forgive me because I could not wGait paDroll.
[Chorus]
ADnd I'm coming Ghome to see my Jesus.
Lord, it feels so close this Dtime.
Please have mercy on a Asoldier from the Georgia-Florida Dmines.
When they Gfind me they must kill me.
Oh Jesus sAave my soul. I can't go back down to GRaiford.
I can't take that anyDmore.
DWhen Vietnam was over there was no work here for me.
I had a hungry wAife and children that I hGad to feDed.
DNow they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must die.
Only me and JAesus know that I never sGtole a dDime.
DThese last few years behind me, Lord they've been so sad.
I fought pAroudly for my country when the times Gwere bDad.
DAnd when they find me and kill me, yes when they shoot me down.
Won't you fly oAld glory proudly with my mGedals on the Dground.
[Chorus](2x)
