C            F               C
Oh momma I’m so thankful you came

                                G7
It’s late and I hate about this rain

  F                         C                     F
I know it’s hard on you but I don’t know what I’d do

               C             G7             C
If you weren’t here momma to walk me to the train


             F            C
21 miles  to Lake Charles Prison

                                       G7
A few more hours my life will cease to be

            C                        F
But I won’t mind that last mile I’ll walk it with a smile

   C                              F          G7     C
As long as your sweet face is the last thing that I see


                      F                      C
Oh how I wish I could turn back the pages of time

                                       G7
And rewrite those few minutes I went insane

    F                      C                          F
Yes I took her for my wife and was forced to take her life

       C                 G7                  C
Now in chains I ride the Lake Charles Prison train


            F            C
21 miles to Lake Charles Prison

                         G7
13 men wearing balls and chains

    C                             F
But I’m richer by far than all of them together are

    C                 G7               C
All because momma you walked me to the train
