I've never been a religious man

 I never went to church as a kid

This here damn mess that I got myself in

 Now kinda wish that I did

I got arrested when I was eighteen

 Me and a few of my friends

They all got off but I didn't win

 I'll never be a free man again

Nobody know's where I am right now

 I don't think that nobody care's

I've been here locked up in the prison downtown

 It's been my home three years

REF

I'm gonna be here the rest of my life

 Put away in this lonely old cell

One day I'm afraid I'm gonna wake up in hell

 Jesus can you get me out of jail

When I was young I had dreams, goals in my life

 Things I always knew I would do

Like have a house and a wife, a child or two

 These dreams will now never come true

REF

I'm gonna be here the rest of my life

 Put away in this lonely old cell

One day I'm afraid I'm gonna wake up in hell

 Jesus can you get me out of jail

Bridge

I always wondered when my time come's

 Wich way I'm gonna go

Well I hope that I can fly high up above

 Cause I don't want to burn down below

REF

I'm gonna be here the rest of my life

 Put away in this lonely old cell

One day I'm afraid I'm gonna wake up in hell

 Jesus can you get me out of jail

Some men are good some men are bad

Some men are somewhere in between

What ever you do don't end up like me

This here's the worst place that I've ever seen
