Chris Murray - Doin' Time lyrics

rate me

I can't eat, I can't sleep

been lying on the bunk all week

yes this charge I can't beat

is keeping me off the street

sent me down one more year

just waiting for the papers to clear

oh it seems like I'm just doin' time without you

locked me down in the hole

to polish my tarnished soul

yes the filth and the grime

have opened up my mind

yes I know I deserve

the sentence that's being served

yes it seems like I'm just doin' time without you

I've told the truth, confessed my crime

kept my behavior good, read the good book line by line

yes my lesson is learned

I'm ready to be returned

but it seems like I'm just doin' time without you

time moves so slow behind these gates

and all there is to do

pound my pile of rocks and wait

mark each day on the wall

and dream about a freedom call

oh it seems like I'm just doin' time without you
