i've never been a religious man
i never went to church as a kid
well this here d*** mess that I got myself in
now i kinda wish that I did
I got arrested when i was 18
Me and a few of my friends
They all got off but I didn't win
I'll never be a free man again
Nobody knows where I am right now
I don't think that nobody cares
Well I've been here locked up in a prison downtown
It's been my home for years
Well I'm gonna be here the rest of my life
Put away in this lonely ol' cell
One day I'm afraid that I'm gonna wake up in hell
Jesus can you get me outta jail
When I was young I had dreams and goals in my life
Things I always knew I would do
Like have a house and a wife, A child or two
Those dreams now will never come true
Cause I'm gonna be here the rest of my life
Put away in this lonely ol' cell
One day I'm afraid that I'm gonna wake up in hell
Jesus can you get me outta jail
[guitar]
I always wonder when my time comes
which way I'm gonna go
Well I hope that I can fly high up above
Cause I don't want to burn down below.
Well I'm gonna be here the rest of my life
Put away in this lonely ol' cell
One day I'm afraid that I'm gonna wake up in hell
Jesus can you get me outta jail
Jesus can you get me outta jail
Some men and some men are bad
Some men are somewhere in between
Whatever you do don't end up like me
This here's the worst place that I've ever seen.
