Now his thoughts fall on stone floor with
And a
By the
His
But he
Guards close the big gate with the turn of a hinge
While a lonely old widow sleeps with revenge
Cole sleeps with sunsets and bright midnight stars
And the rhythm of night sticks tappin the bars
Chorus
He lives in his memories he's got a wife of two years
Her black and white photo is stained with his tears
She left him for Tulsa she Goddamned him to hell
Now she stares at the mirror in a rat trap motel
Chorus
He blends with the inmates they all look the same
They don't like his face cause they don't know his name
He's cursed by the warden he's calmed by the priest
Where he fights with his conscience for his sins to release
Don't you cry for me mama my days came and went
Now the chamber is empty and the last shells been spent
Look in on my wife and give her your care
And if I get to heaven I know ill see you there
Chorus
