歌曲歌詞
Well them four walls of Raiford closing 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
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 went to work
Diggin' ditches for the chain gang sleepin' in the cold
Oh Lord please forgive me for I could not wait the road
And I comin' home to see you Jesus
Well it feels so close this time
Please take mercy on a 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 you 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 a 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
