And as I got off the train way down in New Orleans I grabbed my hat, I put on my coat Reached for my spliff, yeah
I had myself a little smoke, yeah
I was sentenced, living in detention Sentenced, living in detention
And now I´m locked up in jail I spend my days in a cold dark prison cell I rest alone, I watch myself grow old And I don´t deserve this, I just want to go home
I was sentenced, living in detention Sentenced, living in detention
I should have known when I shot the man dead There would be a bounty, a bounty for my head, yeah Well I don´t care that that young man´s dead
I´m just missing one thing, a good spliff to my head
I´ve been talking in my sleep I´ve been waking in my dreams I´ve been living in the past My good old faith is dead
I was sentenced, living in detention Sentenced, living in detention I was sentenced, living in detention Sentenced, living in detention
