lyrics

I bin rotting away in my prison cell
Is it night or is it day man I can't even tell
If anyone should say quit livin' this way
Well they can all go straight to hell
Yeah they can all go straight to hell
Yeah they can all go straight to hell

So meet me at the jail house baby
I'm servin a sentence cause I shot a man down
So take me soon to the cemetery
And I'll help you put me six feet under ground X2

I bin scrapin away at the scraps on my plate
I don't even know if I'm hungry or I ate
We all get a share and it's never bin fair
So just leave me be with all of my hate
Yeah just leave me be with all of my hate
Yeah just leave me be with all of my hate

So meet me at the jail house baby
I'm servin a sentence cause I shot a man down
So take me soon to the cemetery
And I'll help you put me six feet under ground X2

I bin walkin away for forever it seems
leaving behind all that creeps in my dreams
The voice of my past drowns in my flask
So to hell with all your plans and schemes
Yeah to hell with all your plans and schemes
Yeah to hell with all your plans and schemes

So meet me at the jail house baby
I'm servin a sentence cause I shot a man down
So take me soon to the cemetery
And I'll help you put me six feet under ground X3
