D Well them four walls of Raiford, closing in on me A G D Doin' three to five hard labor, for armed robbery D I had two years behind, but I could not wait the time A G D Everytime I thought about it, well I died some more inside D And I had stripes on my back, memories that hurt A G D For the only time I seen sunshine is when I hit the dirt D Diggin' ditches for the chain gang, sleepin' in the cold A G D Oh Lord please forgive me for I could not wait no more D G And I comin' home to see you Jesus D Well it feels so close this time A Please take mercy on this soldier D From the Florida-Georgia line G When they find me they must kill me A Oh Jesus save my soul G I can't go back down to Raiford D I can't take that anymore D Well these last few years behind me A Oh Lord, have been so sad G D I fought proudly for my country when the times were bad G Now they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must die A D Only me and Jesus know that I never stole a dime D A Well when Vietnam was over there was no work here for me G I had a pretty wife awaitin and two kids I had to feed D A Well I'm one of America's heroes and when they shoot me down D Won't fly old Glory proudly, put my medals in the ground D G And I comin' home to see you Jesus D Well it feels so close this time A Please take mercy on this soldier D From the Florida-Georgia line G When they find me they must kill me A Oh Jesus save my soul G I can't go back down to Raiford D I can't take that anymore
