I'VE GOT THOSE LOUISIANA STRIPES AND THEY'RE ALWAYS CHAINING ME DOWN

THINKIN ABOUT MAYBE BEIN' FREE

ON THE DAY THAT I'M A DEAD MAN
WELL, IT TOOK SOME GETTIN USED TO BEING LOCKED IN THIS PRISON CELL
BUT I ALWAYS HUM THOSE TUNES OF GEORGE JONES TO HELP ME THROUGH MY DAYS OF HELL
I'VE DONE 25 YEARS AND THAT'S ALRIGHT WITH ME
CAUSE I'VE GOT ME A LOTTA DAMN GOOD FRIENDS IN THIS LOUISIANA PENATENTARY
Chorus 2:
NOW I'M DOIN MY TIME
IN THIS LOUISIANA PEN
THINKIN ABOUT MAYBE BEIN FREE ON THE DAY
I'M WALKIN IN THAT FIELD OF FIRE IN THAT LOUISIANA PENENTARY
