Hard Time (In the Big House) Lyrics

I was standin' on the corner
With some business for the man
I was holdin' what he wanted
When they took me to the van
Now I'm sittin' and I'm thinkin'
There's a hole in my life
Big enough to drag a better man down

Chorus:
Doin' hard time, hard time in the big house
Doin' hard time, hard time in the big house

I was taken to detention
I was feelin' scared as hell
I was stripped of my possessions
I was taken to a cell
Now I'm sittin' and I'm thinkin'
There's a hole in my life
Like someone took a gun and shattered my hopes

(Chorus)
Was it somethin' I was missing
That I thought I had to score
Was it all for love and money
Does it matter anymore
Now I'm sittin' and I'm thinkin'

There's a hole in my life
Big enough to drag a better man down

(Chorus)
