+------------+ Here is a good tuned and haunting song by Lynyrd Skynyrd. It was never released on the radio so many of you probably have never heard of it. It is simple like many of Lynyrd Skynyrd songs but it sounds good. +------------+ Here is the intro and what you play while you sing. It isn’t the actual tab but it sounds good. If anybody could post the actual tab they’re more than welcome to do so.

Play the verse’s softly and then speed up on the chorus. Verse 1: Now these four walls of Raiford closing in on me. Doing three to five hard labor for armed robbery. I put two years well behind me but I could not wait the time For everytime I thought about it Lord I died some more inside. Verse 2: And they put stripes on my back. Memories of hurt. And the only time I seen sunshine is when I shoveled dirt. Digging ditches on the chain gain and sleeping in the holes. Oh Lord please forgive me because I could not wait paroll. And I’m coming home to see my Jesus. Lord it feels so close this time. Please have mercy on a soldier from the Georgia-Florida mines. When they find me they must kill me. Oh Jesus save my soul. I can’t go back down to Raiford. I can’t take that anymore. Verse 3: When Vietnam was over there was no work here for me. I had a hungry wife and children that I had to feed. Now they say I’m guilty when they find me I must die. Only me and Jesus know that I never stole a dime. Verse 4: These last few years behind me Lord they’ve been so sad. I fought proudly for my country when the times were bad. And when they find me and kill me yes when they shoot me down. Won’t you fly old glory proudly with my medals on the ground. {Chorus twice} Tag: I can’t go back down to raiford I can’t take that anymore. +------------+ I hope you enjoyed the tab. An excellent song. +------------+ Could anyone post the words and/or chords to Big House’s song "You Ain’t Lonely Yet" or the tab you play on the first verse of Dwight Yoakam’s song "South Of Cincinatti. +------------+

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la lutte d'un homme enfermé derrière des murs implacables, faisant face à la réalité de sa peine pour un vol. Alors qu'il se remémore des années difficiles et des souvenirs douloureux, il exprime son désir d'évasion et de rédemption. La douleur physique et émotionnelle qu'il endure est palpable, et il implore le pardon divin tout en rêvant de retourner à la maison, vers sa foi et sa famille. Le contexte est celui d'un ancien soldat qui, après avoir servi son pays, se retrouve acculé par les circonstances et les choix qu'il a faits. La chanson aborde des thèmes universels comme la souffrance, la culpabilité et l'espoir de salut à travers la foi.
