Austin Prison Full Lyrics
[00:07.11] They had a warrant out for me all over the country
[00:11.57] And i was trying to beat the raps in Idaho
[00:16.78] I was breaking into a schoolhouse sunday morning without warning
[00:21.76] When i saw the sheriff coming for me slow from down below
[00:27.79] His steel grey eyes were blazing when he saw me
[00:32.37] His hand was on his gun when he rode up
[00:37.36] He said you killed that woman i know you shot her why'd you do it
[00:42.78] I'm taking you to Austin then i'm gonna lock you up
[00:48.45] Well he tied me with a plow line the next morning
[00:53.22] And he had me deep in Texas the next day
[00:58.12] A crazy screaming lynch mob waited in the streets of Austin
[01:03.19] But he put me in the jailhouse and he threw the key away
[01:07.43]
[01:15.28] A jury found me guilty three months later twelve evil men with murder in their eyes
[01:24.74] They even took me out and said now show us where you killed her
[01:29.76] And that wicked judge said now i here by sentence you to die
[01:35.95] But here i am far away from Austin prison my friend the jailer handed me a file
[01:45.35] Now all i want between me and there are a lot of friendly people
[01:50.31] And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
[01:55.06]
