15 Years

[Verse 1] 15 years on the county line Enough to make a man nearly lose his mind Down in Arlington, Virginia where the lawmakers stay The ball and chain never felt so real Walls of stone, 50 bars of steel When the warden gives me pardon darlin' I'll be coming home your way [Chorus] And I wish you could have seen it when the Good Lord spun me 'round I should have known better than to think they could keep a good man down So please don't you worry Please don't you ever come see me [Verse 1] Leaving out of Texas for that eastern sunlight And now, I was in a bad way Lord but not to my surprise Judge in a cornfield trying a man Said 'let him hang in the white desert sand' When the warden gives me pardon darlin' I'll be coming home your way [Chorus] [Verse 1] [Chorus]
