Four Walls Of Raiford Lynyrd Skynyrd
[D]Now these four walls of Raiford closing in on me.
Doing t[A]hree to five hard labor for [G]armed robb[D]ery.
I[D] put two years well behind me, but I could not wait the time
For every[A]time I thought about it, Lord I died some m[G]ore in[D]side.
[D]And they put stripes on my back. Memories of hurt.
And the only [A]time I seen sunshine is when I [G]shoveled [D]dirt.
[D]Digging ditches on the chain gain and sleeping in the holes.
Oh Lo[A]rd, please forgive me because I could not w[G]ait pa[D]roll.
Chorus:
A[D]nd I'm coming [G]home to see my Jesus.
Lord, it feels so close this [D]time.
Please have mercy on a [A]soldier from the Georgia-Florida [D]mines.
When they [G]find me they must kill me.
Oh Jesus s[A]ave my soul. I can't go back down to [G]Raiford.
I can't take that any[D]more.
[D]When Vietnam was over there was no work here for me.
I had a hungry w[A]ife and children that I h[G]ad to fe[D]ed.
[D]Now they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must die.
Only me and J[A]esus know that I never s[G]tole a d[D]ime.
[D]These last few years behind me, Lord they've been so sad.
I fought p[A]roudly for my country when the times [G]were b[D]ad.
[D]And when they find me and kill me, yes when they shoot me down.
Won't you fly o[A]ld glory proudly with my m[G]edals on the [D]ground.
Chorus 2x
Tag: I can't go back down to raiford, I can't take that anymore.
