(Ronnie VanZant -- Jeff Carlisi). Well them four walls of Raiford closing in on me. Doin' three to five hard labor for armed robbery. I had two years behind but I could not wait the time. Everytime I thought about it well I died some more inside. And I had stripes on my back memories that hurt. For the only time I seen sunshine is when I hit the dirt. Diggin' ditches for the chain gang sleepin' in the cold. Oh Lord please forgive me for I could not wait no more. And I comin' home to see you Jesus. Well it feels so close this time. Please take mercy on this 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 fought proudly for my country when the times were 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 awaitin and two kids I had to feed. Well I'm one of America's heroes and when they shoot me down. Won't fly old Glory proudly put my medals in the ground. And I comin' home to see you Jesus. Well it feels so close this time. Please take mercy on this 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.
