Version 1 Version 2[Verse] E Well them four walls of Raiford, closing in on me. B A G E Doin' three to five hard labor for armed robbery. E I had two years well behind me, but I could not wait the time B A G E For everytime I thought about it, Lord I died some more inside. E And they put stripes on my back. Memories of hurt. B A G E And the only time I seen sunshine is when I shoveled dirt. E Digging ditches on the chain gain and sleeping in the holes. B A G E Oh Lord, please forgive me because I could not wait paroll. [Chorus] A And I'm coming home to see my Jesus. E Lord, it feels so close this time. B A G E Please have mercy on a soldier from the Florida-Georgia line. A When they find me they must kill me. E B Oh Jesus save my soul. I can't go back down to Raiford. A G E I can't take that anymore. [Verse] E When Vietnam was over there was no work here for me. B A G E I had a hungry wife and children that I had to feed. E Now they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must die. B A G E Only me and Jesus know that I never stole a dime. E These last few years behind me, Lord they've been so sad. B A G E I fought proudly for my country when the times were bad. E And when they find me and kill me, yes when they shoot me down. B A G E Won't you fly old glory proudly with my medals on the ground. [Chorus] A And I'm coming home to see my Jesus. E Lord, it feels so close this time. B A G E Please have mercy on a soldier from the Florida-Georgia line. A When they find me they must kill me. E B Oh Jesus save my soul. I can't go back down to Raiford. A G E I can't take that anymore. [Chorus] A And I'm coming home to see my Jesus. E Lord, it feels so close this time. B A G E Please have mercy on a soldier from the Florida-Georgia line. A When they find me they must kill me. E B Oh Jesus save my soul. I can't go back down to Raiford. A G E I can't take that anymore.
