I've never been a religious man
I never went to church as a kid
This here damn mess that I got myself in
Now kinda wish that I did
I got arrested when I was eighteen
Me and a few of my friends
They all got off but I didn't win
I'll never be a free man again
Nobody know's where I am right now
I don't think that nobody care's
I've been here locked up in the prison downtown
It's been my home three years
I'm gonna be here the rest of my life
Put away in this lonely old cell
One day I'm afraid I'm gonna wake up in hell
Jesus can you get me out of jail
When I was young I had dreams, goals in my life
Things I always knew I would do
Like have a house and a wife, a child or two
These dreams will now never come true
I'm gonna be here the rest of my life
Put away in this lonely old cell
One day I'm afraid I'm gonna wake up in hell
Jesus can you get me out of jail
I always wondered when my time come's
Wich way I'm gonna go
Well I hope that I can fly high up above
Cause I don't want to burn down below
I'm gonna be here the rest of my life
Put away in this lonely old cell
One day I'm afraid I'm gonna wake up in hell
Jesus can you get me out of jail
Some men are good some men are bad
