Twenty-five to life deep in the swamps of the LSP There´s no way out but you can have a chance to feel free Old Burl Cain´s been known to put on a show I´m gonna take my chance at the Angola rodeo
So while I do my time I´m gonna whoop me some bovines And be a king for a day If it´s only for a little while
I´ll be an all-round cowboy ropin´ like Cadillac Jack Ride a mustang round the ring, no saddle, it´s called bareback
And when they open up that chute I´ll take the chit right off that brute I´ll have my commissary stocked With all my rodeo Loot
Well, I found myself starin´ down the nose of a Brahma bull
I got weak in my knees and the sweat started to pool ??? chasin´ me around the ring I shot up that wall just searchin´ for somewhere to cling
I saw blood drippin´ down his horn I knew then that I´d been gored Hell, anything´s better than Sittin´ in a cell bein´ bored
I spent sixteen weeks just healin´ in infirmary Compared to Camp J that was quite a luxury Said, "Doctor please, give me some morphine And go easy on me, buddy, ´cause those beasts can´t conquer me"
You know I´ll be here next year
I got nothin´ left to fear And when you´re ??? time You can shed a couple of tears
