Well I was born in Bossier Parish, in Northern Louisian?

Oh but now my life it seems like some old country song you know

Lord I just turned 21, and there?s no chance of parole

And I'm doin? life for murder, in this penitentiary

Just a young man in Angola, seen the last of bein? free

And then one day it happened, and the wild men got the call

The tattoo just says ?Hot?, and that?s the place I love the best, yeah
