Four Walls Of Raiford  Lynyrd Skynyrd



[E]Well them four walls of Raiford, closing in on me.
[B]Doin' three to five hard labor [A]for armed [G]robber[E]y.
[E]I had two years well behind me, but I could not wait the time
[B]For everytime I thought about it, Lord I [A]died some more [G]insid[E]e.
[E]And they put stripes on my back.  Memories of hurt.
[B]And the only time I seen sunshine [A]is when I shovel[G]ed dir[E]t.
[E]Digging ditches on the chain gain and sleeping in the holes.
[B]Oh Lord, please forgive me because I [A]could not [G]wait [E]paroll.
Chorus:
[A]And I'm coming home to see my Jesus.
[E]Lord, it feels so close this time.
[B]Please have mercy on a soldier from the [A]Florida-G[G]eorgia [E]line.
[A]When they find me they must kill me.
[E]Oh Jesus save my soul.  I can't [B]go back down to Raiford.
I can't [A]take that [G]anymor[E]e.


[E]When Vietnam was over there was no work here for me.
[B]I had a hungry wife and children [A]that I [G]had to [E]feed.
[E]Now they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must die.
[B]Only me and Jesus know that I [A]never [G]stole a [E]dime.
[E]These last few years behind me, Lord they've been so sad.
[B]I fought proudly for my country when the [A]times wer[G]e ba[E]d.
[E]And when they find me and kill me, yes when they shoot me down.
[B]Won't you fly old glory proudly with my [A]medals [G]on the [E]ground.
Chorus 2x
