There?s a prison on route 41
A E
Home to my father, first cousin, and son
A D
And I visit every weekend
A E A
Not with my body but with prayers that I send
A D
I?ve a reason for my absentee
A E
And no lack of love for my dear family
A D
But my savior is not Christ the Lord
A E A
But one named Virginia whom I live my life for
E A
And if I don?t mind to her
D A E
I?d rot in that prison for sure
A
Yeah, she?d toss me aside
D A E
And I?d surely wait to die
A D
By decree, law, or demand
A E
So unlike my uncle, grandpa, and great aunt
A D
Whom I?d most likely see every day
A E A
If not for the righteous grand Virginia?s way
A D
There?s a prison on route 41
A E
Home to my mother, stepbrother, and son
A D
And I?d tear down that jail by myself
A E A
If not for Virginia who made me somebody else
E A
And I owe it to her
D A E
I?d rot in that prison for sure
A
Yeah, she?d toss me aside
D A E
And show me the way to die
A D
By the precepts of her purity
A E
So unlike the habits of my whole family
A D
Whom I only see down on my knees
A E A
In prayer by Virginia whom I live for to please
