Oh momma I’m so thankful you came
G7
It’s late and I hate about this rain
F C F
I know it’s hard on you but I don’t know what I’d do
C G7 C
If you weren’t here momma to walk me to the train
F C
21 miles to Lake Charles Prison
G7
A few more hours my life will cease to be
C F
But I won’t mind that last mile I’ll walk it with a smile
C F G7 C
As long as your sweet face is the last thing that I see
F C
Oh how I wish I could turn back the pages of time
G7
And rewrite those few minutes I went insane
F C F
Yes I took her for my wife and was forced to take her life
C G7 C
Now in chains I ride the Lake Charles Prison train
F C
21 miles to Lake Charles Prison
G7
13 men wearing balls and chains
C F
But I’m richer by far than all of them together are
C G7 C
All because momma you walked me to the train
