Might As Well Be a Slave Lyrics & Tabs by Mary Black
Might As Well Be a Slave
guitar chords lyrics
Lying here watching the time pass
I could think of a million things I'd rather do
Travel at my own pace
Put myself asleep if I wanted to
Chorus
Might as well be behind bars
Than be lashed to a wave that I can't haul
Might as well be a slave
Lying low in the shade of a prison wall
Lying here watching the time pass
I could cry for the helping hands that I refused
We were good friends but I did refuse
Chorus
Might as well be behind bars
Getting used to the sound of my keeper's call
Chorus
Might as well be behind bars
Getting used to the sound of my keeper's call
I might as well be a slave
Drinking sun through a chink in a prison wall
Down here down where the end is
You absolve me from every crime I ever planned
I was so surprised I did not think that you would understand
Chorus
Might as well be behind bars
Growing old in a carpeted hall
O might as well be a slave
Ever safe out of the rain in prison walls
Might as well be behind bars
Getting used to the sound of my keeper's call
I might as well be a slave
Always safe out of the rain in prison walls.
