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
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
