Ross Lippencott - The Day I Die
Lord you know I'm a bad bad manI took someones life with my own two hands
I cannot say what come over me
One thing is for sure, surely I am not free
They locked me up
Til' the day I die
I sit here and watch
The world pass me by
I came here as a young man
Here I'll stay 'til I am old
They saved a special plot for me just across the road
Angola is my home, the only place I've ever known
And maybe when I die I'll lay down this heavy load
They locked me up
Til' the day I die
I sit here and watch
The world pass me by
When I tried to escape the warden followed me
Through the swamps of Louisiana and the hills of Tennessee
Though I tried I was denied in my attempt to be free
Now my days are numbered as I wait here patiently
Angola is my home, the only place I've ever known
And maybe when I die I'll lay down this heavy load
They locked me up
Til' the day I die
I sit here and watch
The world pass me by
