Lynyrd Skynyrd - Four walls of raiford

^CNow these four walls of Raiford closing in on me. Doing t^Fhree to five hard labor for ^Farmed robb^Cery. I^C put two years well behind me, but I could not wait the time For every^Ftime I thought about it, Lord I died some m^Fore in^Cside.

^CAnd they put stripes on my back. Memories of hurt. And the only ^Ftime I seen sunshine is when I ^Fshoveled ^Cdirt. ^CDigging ditches on the chain gain and sleeping in the holes. Oh Lo^Frd, please forgive me because I could not w^Fait pa^Croll.

A^Cnd I'm coming ^Fhome to see my Jesus. Lord, it feels so close this ^Ctime. Please have mercy on a ^Fsoldier from the Georgia-Florida ^Cmines. When they ^Ffind me they must kill me. Oh Jesus s^Fave my soul. I can't go back down to ^FRaiford. I can't take that any^Cmore.

^CWhen Vietnam was over there was no work here for me. I had a hungry w^Fife and children that I h^Fad to fe^Ced. ^CNow they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must die. Only me and J^Fesus know that I never s^Ftole a d^Cime.

^CThese last few years behind me, Lord they've been so sad. I fought p^Froudly for my country when the times ^Fwere b^Cad. ^CAnd when they find me and kill me, yes when they shoot me down. Won't you fly o^Fld glory proudly with my m^Fedals on the ^Cground.
