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 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
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 kill me
Oh Jesus save my soul
I can't go back down to Raiford
I can't take that anymore
