shot four times and dyin' - bill carter lyrics lyrics

Loading...

when they locked those prison doors
my baby said she’d wait
the guards were a+bettin’ five to one
i’d try to help that prey

so they put me in that cotton patch
just outside the wall
always a+hopin’ i’d break and run
when i heard that old southbound’s call

[chorus]
i’m just two miles from the prison wall
i hear them hounds a+cryin’
but i’ll never see that old cell again
cause i’m shot four times and dyin

layin’ in this railroad drain
how long can freedom last?
see that train a+goin’ overhead
like my life it’s a+goin’ fast

choppin’ in that cotton patch
each day that train went by
to catch that prey was my only dream
and today i just had to try
[chorus]
i’m just two miles from the prison wall
i hear them hounds a+cryin’
but i’ll never see that old cell again
cause i’m shot four times and dyin

a month ago they gave the guard
a brand new shiny gun
said he’d like to try it out
and wished i’d break and run

while he laughed i grabbed some dirt
and threw it in his eyes
i didn’t even know if i could run two miles
but now i knew i had to try

[chorus]
i’m just two miles from the prison wall
i hear them hounds a+cryin’
but i’ll never see that old cell again
cause i’m shot four times and dyin
