15 Years - Houndmouth

15 Years on the county line

Enough to make a man nearly lose his mind

Down in Arlington, Virginia where the law make us stay

Ball and chain never felt so real

Walls of stone fifty bars of steel

When the warden gives me pardon darlin' I’ll be coming home your way

And I wish you could have seen it when the good Lord spun me round

I should have known better than to think they could keep a good man down

So please don’t you worry

Please don’t you ever come see me

Leaving out of Texas for that eastern sunrise

Well now, I was in a bad way Lord but not to my surprise

Judge in a cornfield tryin' a man

They said let him hang in the white desert sand

When the warden gives me pardon darlin' I’ll be coming home your way

And I wish you could have seen it when the good Lord spun me round

I should have known better than to think they could keep a good man down

So please don’t you worry

Please don’t you ever come see me
