Nine Pound Steel Songtext
von Joe Simon

Through these walls
I see the sun
I′m here because
The wrong I've done...
Made me ashamed
I stole from her
Oh, when I should′ve stood up like a man
You see, I've got to say good morning
To a nine pound steel


Listen to me now
They got me working
Like a slave
Payin' for
My mistake
I know someday
I′ll be free (someday)
Please darling
Oh honey, wait for me

I′ve got to say good morning
To a nine pound steel
Good morning to that old nine pound steel
This old jail
Is so cold
I need ya darling
I need your love more and more


I know someday
Someday I'll be free (someday)
Free darling, oh honey wait for me
Until I lay down this whole nine
Nine pound - nine pound steel
It′s so hard, sometimes
Listen to me, honey
I'm comin′ home (come home)
Wait for me
I'm comin′ home
Wait for me
