21 Miles to Lake Charles - Johnny Paycheck

Oh momma I’m so thankful you came

It’s late and I hate about this rain

I know it’s hard on you but I don’t know what I’d do

If you weren’t here momma to walk me to the train

21 miles to Lake Charles Prison

A few more hours my life will cease to be

But I won’t mind that last mile I’ll walk it with a smile

As long as your sweet face is the last thing that I see

Oh how I wish I could turn back the pages of time

And rewrite those few minutes I went insane

Yes I took her for my wife and was forced to take her life

Now in chains I ride the Lake Charles Prison train

21 miles to Lake Charles Prison

13 men wearing balls and chains

But I’m richer by far than all of them together are

All because momma you walked me to the train
