The Four Walls Of Raiford

Well them four walls of raiford

Closein' in on me

Doin' 3 to 5 hard labor

For armed robbery

I had two years behind me

But I could not wait the time

Every time I thought about it

Well I'd die some more inside



And I had stripes on my back

Memories that hurt

For the only time I'd seen sunshine

Is when I went to work

Diggin' ditches for the chain gang

Sleepin' in the hole

Oh lord please forgive me

For I could not wait to roll



And I'm 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 fault proudly for my country

When the times are 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 a'waitin'

And two kids I had to feed

Well I'm one of America's heros

And when they shoot me down

Won't you fly ol' glory proudly

Put my medals in the ground



And I'm comin' home to see you Jesus

Well it feels so close this time

Please take mercy on a soldier

From the Florida Gorgia 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
