[Verse]
E
Well them four walls of Raiford, closing in on me.
B A G E
Doin' three to five hard labor for armed robbery.
E
I had two years well behind me, but I could not wait the time
B A G E
For everytime I thought about it, Lord I died some more inside.
E
And they put stripes on my back. Memories of hurt.
B A G E
And the only time I seen sunshine is when I shoveled dirt.
E
Digging ditches on the chain gain and sleeping in the holes.
B A G E
Oh Lord, please forgive me because I could not wait paroll.
[Chorus]
A
And I'm coming home to see my Jesus.
E
Lord, it feels so close this time.
B A G E
Please have mercy on a soldier from the Florida-Georgia line.
A
When they find me they must kill me.
E B
Oh Jesus save my soul. I can't go back down to Raiford.
A G E
I can't take that anymore.
[Verse]
E
When Vietnam was over there was no work here for me.
B A G E
I had a hungry wife and children that I had to feed.
E
Now they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must die.
B A G E
Only me and Jesus know that I never stole a dime.
E
These last few years behind me, Lord they've been so sad.
B A G E
I fought proudly for my country when the times were bad.
E
And when they find me and kill me, yes when they shoot me down.
B A G E
Won't you fly old glory proudly with my medals on the ground.
[Chorus]
A
And I'm coming home to see my Jesus.
E
Lord, it feels so close this time.
B A G E
Please have mercy on a soldier from the Florida-Georgia line.
A
When they find me they must kill me.
E B
Oh Jesus save my soul. I can't go back down to Raiford.
A G E
I can't take that anymore.
[Chorus]
A
And I'm coming home to see my Jesus.
E
Lord, it feels so close this time.
B A G E
Please have mercy on a soldier from the Florida-Georgia line.
A
When they find me they must kill me.
E B
Oh Jesus save my soul. I can't go back down to Raiford.
A G E
I can't take that anymore.
