Doing Time Lyrics

(Rory Gallagher)
I'm breaking rocks and I'm doing time
She's on the streets with a friend of mine
I drove the car I took the fall
I walk the cell at night I cry 'til dawn
At night I cry 'til dawn
The days are long but time will pass
I'm breaking out I soon will get my change
I'm in my cell it's ten by nine
She's living it up on champagne and wine
I took the rap I have to smile
Time drags by but I'll get loose after a while
Get loose after a while
Deep in the night just like a child
I walk the cell my mind is running wild

I'm going numb from too much waiting
Until my dying day
I'll suffocate from too much hating
There'll be hell to pay

I'm gonna rot from too much waiting
'Til my dying day
My soul is bruised my heart is shaking
There'll be hell to pay
I'm digging ditches I'm breaking stones
Sewing mailbags it ain't no fun
Bread and water my life is complete
Hold my breath 'til I'm back out on the streets
Back out on the streets

Revenge is sweet or so they say
Just watch your steps I'm breaking out today
Revenge is sweet or so they say
Just watch your steps I'm breaking out today
