Kate Campbell - ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS MEDITATION BLUES lyrics

rate me

I killed a man to get in here

And here I’ll be for life

Hardest of the hardest men

Step aside when I walk by

I was born an angry man

This is all I know

I gave up on the human kind

A long, long time ago

Then one day a man came ’round

Put us to the test

Gonna sit right here and think a while

Like Jesus in the wilderness

I thought that man was crazy

Two days on and on

Three days in the walls came down

And all my pain was gone

A long time I was dying

Blind but now I see

Locked up here for all my days

I am finally free

Alabama here we rest

Live in light and peacefulness
