Four Walls of Raiford - Ronnie VanZant, Jeff Carlisi

    Well them four walls of Raiford, closing in on me
    Doin' three to five hard labor, for armed robbery
    I had two years behind, but I could not wait the time
    Everytime I thought about it, well I died some more inside

    And I had stripes on my back, memories that hurt
    For the only time I seen sunshine is when I hit the dirt
    Diggin' ditches for the chain gang, sleepin' in the cold
    Oh Lord please forgive me for I could not wait no more

    And I comin' home to see you Jesus
    Well it feels so close this time
    Please take mercy on this soldier
    From the Florida-Georgia line

    When they find me they most kill me
    Oh Jesus save my soul
    I can't go back down to Raiford
    I can't take that anymore

    Well these last few years behind me
    Oh Lord, have been so sad
    I fought proudly for my country when the times were bad
    Now they say I'm guilty, when they find me I most die
    Only me and Jesus know that I never stole a dime

    Well when Vietnam was over there was no work here for me
    I had a pretty wife awaitin and two kids I had to feed
    Well I'm one of America's heroes and when they shoot me down
    Won't fly old Glory proudly, put my medals in the ground

    And I comin' home to see you Jesus
    Well it feels so close this time
    Please take mercy on this soldier
    From the Florida-Georgia line

    When they find me they most kill me
    Oh Jesus save my soul
    I can't go back down to Raiford
    I can't take that anymore
