Alabama Department of Corrections Meditation Blues

guitar chords lyrics

Kate Campbell

I killed a man to get in here
And here I ll be for life
Hardest of the hardest men

Step aside when I walk by
I was born an angry man
This is all I know
I gave up on the human kind
A long, long time ago
Then one day a man came round
Put us to the test
Like Jesus in the wilderness
I thought that man was crazy
Two days on and on
Three days in the walls came down
And all my pain was gone

Two days on and on
Three days in the walls came down
And all my pain was gone
A long time I was dying
Blind but now I see
Locked up here for all my days
I am finally free
Alabama here we rest
Live in light and peacefulness
